21st Century Schizoid Man

(início)

I used 3 versions of Schizoid Man to transcribe this:
  1) Studio : _In the Court of the Crimson King_
  2) Live : Providence disc from the amazing new _Great Deceiver_ boxed set
                (also the same version originally released on _USA_)
  3) Live : My *All time Favourite* version from _Earthbound_
NOTES:  1) Standard bar chords unless otherwise noted
        2) This transcription isn't rigidly Beginning -> End.  I'll write it by
                section then assume knowledge of repeating parts...
First the chords:
The main chordal riff in 4/4:
1   2       3     4|1  2  3  4
C   A# C D# A#  C  |F   F#   G
Alternate used before vox:
1   2       3     4  1  2    3 4

Vocal Section Chord from hell:
  Interpretations of this chord are legendary, this one sounded best to me:
                x
                8
                8
                10
                10
                8
                Cat's foot etc...
Exit main chordal riff:
F F# G : Repeat 6 times, increase tempo then...
Unison run section 1 (rhythm sorta notated by the 1-2-3-4)

Play chords loose and sloppy    tri=triplets
Unison run section 2 (rhythm sorta notated by the 1-2-3-4)

..And speaking of hell, here are the inhumanly fast parts...

*The rhythm is correct so if you play the triplet at the indicated time
  (and allow 1 note length) you should be dead on.
   The notes themselves are pretty close but open to interpretation...

**Same as * except last 7 notes are definitely correct

The order for the inhumanly fast section:
  Fast1, Fast2, Fast3, Fast1, Stop&Go, Mute1, Mute1, Fast3, Fast1, Stop&Go
Then back into the unison runs, vox, and opening chords.  By the time the song
 ends you should have either achieved enlightenment or neurotic breakdown :)
  One thing's for sure, if you make it all the way through, you're well on
   your way to becoming a 21st Century Schizoid Man...Have fun!
