Child In Time
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
From "Deep Purple In Rock", 1970
 
[INTRO]
Clear sound
Softly
 
                   *               *               *

E|----------3--3-|-5--------3--3-|-5---------1--1-|-3------------3--3--5-|
 Then repeat the whole riff.
 
[VERSE and CHORUS]
You've got to repeat INTRO only. The difference is in the volume of
your guitar, listen to the record to fix it. Also, listen to the song attentively
to catch R.Blackmore's tricks w/tremelo, hammer-ons and pull-offs, I'm too lazy
to show them all.
 
During some bars of the chorus you'll play following :
 
                   *               *                    *                    *

[THE INTERLUDE] kicks in:

Great work on the solo. Now the hard part...playing it!

farcry
not too bad, the solo is hard to get by ear, you did a pretty good job, it's a really fun solo to play the rest is kinda boring but it's still an awsome song, good job
+3
DissonantTimbre
The outro of the solo is played with sweep picking. e|-------12-------12-------12----------|-------12-------12--------------| B|----13-------13-------13----15-13-12-|----13-------13----15-13-12-----| G|-14-------14-------14----------------|-14-------14----------------14--| D|-------------------------------------|--------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------|--------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
