Here`s Train Tracks; another amazing tune by Ian Moore. If you`re gonna
play it live, there`s something Ian does that I`d suggest. To make the
train sound, start slowly strumming your guitar, muted with your left hand,
up and down slowly. Use your wah-wah in time with your strumming, and
gradually increase speed. Get faster and faster until it`s as fast as you
can go, and break into the intro lick. Ian flanges the train in the song,
but it`s not really necessary.
LIE - IAN MOORE
Heavy distortion with some good feedback. You`ve gotta have a wah for this
one: it just adds so much to the fills and solos. Timing is everything on
this tune, so listen to it a couple times first to get the groove down.
Intro riff (use wah :
e------------------------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------3-3-------------
A--5-3-0-5-3-0-5-3-0-5-3-0-5-3-0---5--0--3--4--5--5--3-0-----------------

B-----------------------------------
G-----------------------------------
D--------------------3--------------

B---------------------------------
G---------------------------------
D------------------------3--3----- play this three times then...
A--5--2--3--4--5--5--3-0----------

there`s a short fill on the blues scale, the first note it F if you wanna
just listen to it and figure out what sounds best to you - or you could
just play the riff again.
then he plays the same riff but one octave up, so it`s:
