Ozzo!: Project Started: March 5th 2005 This started as one major correction, I've had to basically change it from being a really bad import to a decent sounding Guitar Pro file. It's taken me many months sitting with my guitar, and listening to both the recorded version and the live recording endlessly for hours on end... The Piano part is next to impossible to play on guitar. Don't even try. I re-did the entire guitar tracks using a TAB I found (and a crappy one at that) and my own ear, I re-did the entire drum track. I cleaned up the piano, but not much, just made it more readable and playable (for a pianist), however I did change some parts: In all the chorus's (I am using the 1st as this example) I changed bar 56, 57, 58, and 59. Some funky hammer-on, pull-off triplet thing was going on which I believe shouldn't of been there, and in bar 56, and 57 Jovi goes back up a step (beginning of 57), this can be heard on the recorded AND live versions, I added [what I believe him to be playing] this in. I took out a lot of random notes that were there, looking back when I did it I can't remember exactly what, use the other TAB as a guild to what I changed. I took the vocals out completely, however, if people request them, I can put them back in (will not supply lyrics) I take full credit for this tab, except: Tracks 4 - piano, except everything being changed, the chorus's in dynamics, and taking wrong notes out, and the above description of what I did, 6 (keyboards), and 7 (bass). Although I fixed these tracks up a great deal, I am not responsible for the scoring of these, this was originally a MIDI import, so no-one did them. I hope this is a good enough to tab to get at least 4 stars. Please rate, and comment this tab, feel free to comment on possible corrections. If you wish you make a correction, please state what you're correcting, in what bar, track, and what you [want to] correct what-to-what. Thanks. Oh, and by the way, I submitted this as a new tab, not a correction, because, although this started as a correction, it's completely different in everyway to the last MIDI import, and I don't feel the other tab's "uploader" should bare any credit for this. Yours, David, from Sydney Australia. Project complete June 30th 2005.
