In My Dreams With You by Steve Vai
In My Dreams With You
a few notes on my notation:
X = scratch with fret hand palm or pick
\ = slide towards bridge
/ = slide towards nut
P.H. = Pinch Harmonic
P.M. = Palm Muting
~~~~ = vibrato
V = sweep pick (high to low strings)
22b(24)b(22) = bend to 24th fret, release to original pitch
p = pull off
h = hammer on
"In My Dreams with You"
by Steve Vai
there is some weird harmonist effect on this and it pans left and right
until about :20

this is tricky...mute the strings with your fret hand, and then
use the side of your pick and scratch diagonally across the strings
as notated (it takes a bit of practice and LOTS of precision, be
patient):
X1-right behind neck humbucker, X2-over first coil of neck humbucker
X3-start behind neck humbucker and go towards bridge humbucker
(this is a cool effect, and if you fiddle with it, you'll find
all sorts of weird harmonic noises between the end of your neck and
your bridge pickup...enjoy)

\ whammy down to about E X4-start around the 17th fret and
slide using the side of the pick
(with the pick at about a 30 degree
angle from the strings). Apply
enough pressure so you can hear
the notes you scratch across on
the fingerboard.

Then to Chorus riff
I'm watchin' you, I'm wantin' you, but you turn away
I'd crawl through broken glass to you, but it wouldn't pay
You take me for a fool, but if you only knew
What I do in my dreams with you
You're so cold and critical, and baby that's too bad
So my reality will have to come to me in my dreams
I know that you belong to me every night, you suddenly appear in my eyes
It happens when I sleep, it isn't right, what I do in my dreams with you
It isn't right what I do in my dreams with you
I love the way you come to me every night
My fantasies are real, and they never lie
If you only knew, what I do in my dreams with you, yeah
It isn't right, Lord knows that it isn't right
The world can make you cynical, with all its love and pain
But I don't have to carry the weight of the world
I know that you belong to me every night, you suddenly appear in my eyes
It happens when I sleep, it isn't right, what I do in my dreams with you
It isn't right what I do in my dreams with you
Baby don't wake me, let me take you on an endless journey
We touch, and the softest kiss explodes with lust, yeah
It's real, you can't deny the heat you feel
And if I die before I wake, baby, that's all right
I know that you belong to me every night, you suddenly appear in my eyes
It happens when I sleep, it isn't right, what I do in my dreams with you
It isn't right what I do in my dreams with you
I know that you belong to me every night, you suddenly appear in my eyes
