Hey guys, so this is a quick lesson on the
Intro solo to transcend by Polyphia, so this is Tim solo
So we're gonna start off with first the minor minor arpeggio starting from the 9th fret of the fifth [F#] string
9
[B] 12 16
[F#m] I'm ready to go [A] 9 12 [A#] 9 11 16 on the [E] third string
We're gonna go back down
[A] And
[F#]
we're gonna go back up [D#] all the way
So we're gonna go 9 12 [F#m] 16
[A#] Then we're gonna go 9 [E] 11 16
[F#] And we're gonna go [B] 9 12 [C#m] 16 and [C#] we're gonna [N] go back up to the third string.
We're gonna hit 16 [E] 11 9
Then we're gonna after we hit [F] all that [F#] entire sequence.
It sounds like this
[F#m]
We're [E]
gonna go up to the 13th fret of the third string and we're gonna [B] do this
tapping string skipping
Major 7 arpeggio what major 9
So we're gonna go 13 14 and 18 [G#m] on the third string
[F#m] Then we're gonna go [A#m] 12 16 [E] 19
So we're gonna
And we're gonna descend in [N] this sweep arpeggio starting from the 12th fret on the E string.
We're just gonna go 12
14 on the second [B] string 13 on the third string
14 on the fourth string 16 [D#] on the fifth string 12 on the fifth [A#] string [B] then
See [A] so we're gonna
We're gonna go back up
And we're [N] gonna tap after we go back up all the way we're gonna tap to 17th fret
[C#m]
[A] So we're gonna go back up again after we [B] go do that sequence.
So [C#m] for example
[A] And then after [C#] the 19th 16th [B] fret of the fifth string, sorry, [A#] we're gonna go to the 14th fret [B] of the fifth string
I'm gonna start this little
This build-up sequence, which is which sounds like this
[A] So [F] [F#m]
[B]
[G#m] that's pretty easy that's 14
[B] [Am] [F]
16 on the fifth string then 14 [G#m]
13
[F#m] [E] 16 14 on the second the fourth [N] string then we're gonna do an octave jump to 9
17 here on the second string then we're gonna go [A#] to 90 sites an idea
[G#]
[B] And 16 on the third [Dm] string
[G#m]
Then we're gonna [A] do this which is
Just [D]
[G#m] 13 [Am] 14 on the third string
[F#] 16 [G#m]
13
[E] 14 on the fourth [F#] string 16 [D] 12
[E]
14 [C#] 16 on the fifth string
[D] So
[C#m] [A#]
after that we got this build-up [G] which is basically an alternate picked at least I think he picks everything
So [F#m] he's gonna go
[A] It's
[A#m]
pretty pretty simple as well
[G] It's it's basically we're gonna be starting our pinkies gonna be starting each each sequence so it's it's unlike
[A]
Going up like a major scale.
It's [A#m] we're gonna be actually starting from the third
[C#] [D]
Which [A] [Bm] is 16 on [C#] the fifth string we're gonna go 16 14 12
[A] Then we're gonna 16 14 12 again on the fourth string
[D]
[B] And then [E] we're gonna go 18
[F#m] [E] [G#m] 18 on the fourth string again, we're gonna go same sequence.
It's [D] gonna be
[E]
So 18 16 [N] 14 and then 18 16 14 on third string again
[A#] So
[C#] [F#m] [E]
[A] that shape actually stays the same so [D] it's gonna be the same the same shape
[A]
[A#] Then [A]
[D] again same shape except we're [F#] starting on 19th fret so a knife
[A#] [Bm] the second string
[A#] [C] And it slide [A#] it up again to the 21st fret
Or a [E] 21st fret on the high E string
[A#]
24th fret
[D#m] 422 and 21 is our last [A#] note right [F#m] so we're gonna have
[E]
[Dm] [F#m]
[A#]
Let's start this tapping arpeggio, [F#m] but for that we're gonna have
Which [N] is just 17 19 21 19 17 19
So it's gonna be quite simple.
It's the same exact pattern that we had before when we started this huge lick
Except all we're gonna be [Dm] doing is we're gonna be sticking to both [A#] the first and second string and we're gonna go
Starting with our first finger 17 19 21
We're gonna go back forth like that then we're gonna go 21 on the high or the the B string
[F#m] So [G#] and then we're gonna [F#] go back to the high E string we're gonna go and then we're stuck [N] so our next
Part of it is gonna be the tapping arpeggio
It's gonna start on the 24th fret of the high E string and the pattern is gonna also go to the [Dm] second string so
[F#m] 24 21 [B] 19 17
[E]
then we're gonna slide over to the
[F] 19th fret with our middle finger sorry 21st fret and we're gonna do
21 [C#m] 17 14
Then we're gonna go 21 on the third [A] string
21 [B] 18 16 14 and we're gonna go [A] forward again, so we're gonna go
[E]
Just [A] just [Dm] 14 16 18 [A] 21
Pull off [Dm] that and then [E] 21 on the fourth string 18
[B] Sorry 21 18 19.
Sorry [E] 16 14
Then we're gonna go [N] to
The 11th fret of the fourth [C#] string we're gonna go 14.
I'm sorry [E] 11 14 16 [A] 19
Pull that off then we're gonna go to the fifth [Em] string we're gonna do 19
[C#m] 16 14 19 16 [E] [B] 14 11 and
9 [D#m]
[Bm] all [A] together
[G#]
Intro solo to transcend by Polyphia, so this is Tim solo
So we're gonna start off with first the minor minor arpeggio starting from the 9th fret of the fifth [F#] string
9
[B] 12 16
[F#m] I'm ready to go [A] 9 12 [A#] 9 11 16 on the [E] third string
We're gonna go back down
[A] And
[F#]
we're gonna go back up [D#] all the way
So we're gonna go 9 12 [F#m] 16
[A#] Then we're gonna go 9 [E] 11 16
[F#] And we're gonna go [B] 9 12 [C#m] 16 and [C#] we're gonna [N] go back up to the third string.
We're gonna hit 16 [E] 11 9
Then we're gonna after we hit [F] all that [F#] entire sequence.
It sounds like this
[F#m]
We're [E]
gonna go up to the 13th fret of the third string and we're gonna [B] do this
tapping string skipping
Major 7 arpeggio what major 9
So we're gonna go 13 14 and 18 [G#m] on the third string
[F#m] Then we're gonna go [A#m] 12 16 [E] 19
So we're gonna
And we're gonna descend in [N] this sweep arpeggio starting from the 12th fret on the E string.
We're just gonna go 12
14 on the second [B] string 13 on the third string
14 on the fourth string 16 [D#] on the fifth string 12 on the fifth [A#] string [B] then
See [A] so we're gonna
We're gonna go back up
And we're [N] gonna tap after we go back up all the way we're gonna tap to 17th fret
[C#m]
[A] So we're gonna go back up again after we [B] go do that sequence.
So [C#m] for example
[A] And then after [C#] the 19th 16th [B] fret of the fifth string, sorry, [A#] we're gonna go to the 14th fret [B] of the fifth string
I'm gonna start this little
This build-up sequence, which is which sounds like this

13
[F#m] [E] 16 14 on the second the fourth [N] string then we're gonna do an octave jump to 9
17 here on the second string then we're gonna go [A#] to 90 sites an idea
[G#]
[B] And 16 on the third [Dm] string
[G#m]
Then we're gonna [A] do this which is
Just [D]
[G#m] 13 [Am] 14 on the third string
[F#] 16 [G#m]
13
[E] 14 on the fourth [F#] string 16 [D] 12
[E]
14 [C#] 16 on the fifth string
[D] So
[C#m] [A#]
after that we got this build-up [G] which is basically an alternate picked at least I think he picks everything
So [F#m] he's gonna go
[A] It's

[F#m] [E] [G#m] 18 on the fourth string again, we're gonna go same sequence.
It's [D] gonna be
[E]
So 18 16 [N] 14 and then 18 16 14 on third string again
[A#] So
[C#] [F#m] [E]

[A] _ And _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
we're gonna go back up [D#] all the way
_ So we're gonna go 9 12 [F#m] 16
[A#] Then we're gonna go 9 [E] 11 16
_ [F#] And we're gonna go [B] 9 12 [C#m] 16 _ and _ [C#] _ we're gonna [N] go back up to the third string.

We're just gonna go 12
14 on the second [B] string 13 on the third string
_ 14 on the fourth string 16 [D#] on the fifth string 12 on the fifth [A#] string _ _ [B] then _
See [A] so we're gonna _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We're gonna go back up _ _

[C#m] _ _

16 on the fifth string then 14 [G#m] _
13
_ [F#m] [E] 16 14 on the second the fourth [N] string then we're gonna do an octave jump to 9
17 here on the second string then we're gonna go [A#] to 90 sites an idea
_ _ [G#] _ _
[B] And 16 on the third [Dm] string
_ _ [G#m] _
_ Then _ we're gonna [A] do this which is
_ _ Just [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] 13 [Am] _ 14 on the third string
[F#] _ _ 16 [G#m]
13
_ [E] _ 14 on the fourth [F#] string 16 _ [D] 12
_ [E] _
14 _ [C#] 16 on the fifth string _
[D] _ So _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ _ after that we got this build-up [G] which is basically an alternate picked at least I think he picks everything

[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] And then [E] we're gonna go 18 _
_ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ [G#m] 18 on the fourth string again, we're gonna go same sequence.
It's [D] gonna be
[E] _ _
_ So 18 16 [N] 14 and then 18 16 14 on third string again
[A#] So _
[C#] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ that shape actually stays the same so [D] it's gonna be the same the same shape
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [A#] _ Then _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ again same shape except we're [F#] starting on 19th fret so a knife
[A#] _ [Bm] the second string
[A#] _ [C] And _ it slide [A#] it up again to the 21st fret
_ Or a [E] 21st fret on the high E string
[A#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ 24th fret _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#m] 422 and 21 is our last [A#] note right [F#m] so we're gonna have
_ [E] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _
Let's start this tapping arpeggio, [F#m] but for that we're gonna have _ _
Which [N] _ _ is just 17 19 21 19 17 19 _
So it's gonna be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ quite simple.
It's the same exact pattern that we had before when we started this huge lick
_ _ _ Except all we're gonna be [Dm] doing is we're gonna be sticking to both [A#] the first and second string and we're gonna go
Starting with our first finger _ 17 19 21
_ We're gonna go back forth like that then we're gonna go 21 on the high or the the B string
_ [F#m] _ _ So _ _ _ [G#] and _ _ then we're gonna [F#] go back to the high E string we're gonna go _ and _ _ then we're stuck [N] so our next
Part of it is gonna be the tapping arpeggio
It's gonna start on the 24th fret of the high E string and the pattern is gonna also go to the [Dm] second string _ so _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ 24 21 [B] 19 17
_ [E] _ _
_ then we're gonna slide over to the
[F] 19th fret with our middle finger sorry 21st fret and we're gonna do
_ 21 [C#m] 17 14 _
Then we're gonna go 21 on the third [A] string
21 _ [B] 18 16 14 and we're gonna go [A] forward again, so we're gonna go
_ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ Just [A] just [Dm] 14 16 18 [A] 21 _ _
Pull off [Dm] that and then [E] 21 on the fourth string _ 18
_ _ _ [B] Sorry 21 18 19.
Sorry [E] 16 14
_ _ _ Then we're gonna go _ [N] to
_ _ The 11th fret of the fourth [C#] string we're gonna go 14.
I'm sorry [E] 11 14 16 [A] _ 19
_ _ Pull that off then we're gonna go to the fifth [Em] string we're gonna do 19 _
[C#m] 16 14 19 16 [E] [B] 14 11 _ and
9 [D#m] _
[Bm] all _ _ _ _ [A] together
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey guys, so this is a quick lesson on the
_ Intro solo to transcend by Polyphia, so this is Tim solo
So we're gonna start off with first the minor minor arpeggio starting from the 9th fret of the fifth [F#] string
_ 9 _ _ _
[B] _ 12 16
[F#m] _ _ I'm ready to go [A] 9 12 [A#] 9 11 16 on the [E] third string _
_ We're gonna go back down
[A] _ And _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
we're gonna go back up [D#] all the way
_ So we're gonna go 9 12 [F#m] 16
[A#] Then we're gonna go 9 [E] 11 16
_ [F#] And we're gonna go [B] 9 12 [C#m] 16 _ and _ [C#] _ we're gonna [N] go back up to the third string.
We're gonna hit 16 [E] 11 9
_ _ _ Then we're gonna after we hit [F] all that [F#] entire sequence.
It sounds like this
[F#m] _
We're _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ gonna go up to the 13th fret of the third string and we're gonna [B] do this
tapping string skipping _ _ _
_ Major 7 arpeggio what major 9 _
_ _ So we're gonna go 13 14 and 18 [G#m] on the third string
_ [F#m] _ _ Then we're gonna go [A#m] 12 16 [E] 19
_ So we're gonna
_ And _ _ we're gonna descend in [N] this sweep arpeggio starting from the 12th fret on the E string.
We're just gonna go 12
14 on the second [B] string 13 on the third string
_ 14 on the fourth string 16 [D#] on the fifth string 12 on the fifth [A#] string _ _ [B] then _
See [A] so we're gonna _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We're gonna go back up _ _
And _ we're [N] gonna tap after we go back up all the way we're gonna tap to 17th fret
[C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ So we're gonna go back up again after we [B] go do that sequence.
So [C#m] for example _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ And then after [C#] the 19th 16th [B] fret of the fifth string, sorry, [A#] we're gonna go to the _ 14th fret [B] of the fifth string
I'm gonna start this little
This build-up sequence, which is which sounds like this _
[A] _ _ _ So [F] _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ that's pretty easy that's 14
[B] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _
16 on the fifth string then 14 [G#m] _
13
_ [F#m] [E] 16 14 on the second the fourth [N] string then we're gonna do an octave jump to 9
17 here on the second string then we're gonna go [A#] to 90 sites an idea
_ _ [G#] _ _
[B] And 16 on the third [Dm] string
_ _ [G#m] _
_ Then _ we're gonna [A] do this which is
_ _ Just [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] 13 [Am] _ 14 on the third string
[F#] _ _ 16 [G#m]
13
_ [E] _ 14 on the fourth [F#] string 16 _ [D] 12
_ [E] _
14 _ [C#] 16 on the fifth string _
[D] _ So _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ _ after that we got this build-up [G] which is basically an alternate picked at least I think he picks everything
So [F#m] he's gonna go _
_ [A] _ _ It's _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
pretty pretty simple as well
[G] _ _ It's it's basically we're gonna be starting our pinkies gonna be starting each each sequence so it's it's unlike
[A] _
_ Going up like a major scale.
It's [A#m] we're gonna be actually starting from the third
_ [C#] _ [D] _ _ _
Which [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] is 16 on [C#] the fifth string we're gonna go 16 14 12
_ [A] _ _ Then we're gonna 16 14 12 again on the fourth string
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] And then [E] we're gonna go 18 _
_ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ [G#m] 18 on the fourth string again, we're gonna go same sequence.
It's [D] gonna be
[E] _ _
_ So 18 16 [N] 14 and then 18 16 14 on third string again
[A#] So _
[C#] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ that shape actually stays the same so [D] it's gonna be the same the same shape
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [A#] _ Then _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ again same shape except we're [F#] starting on 19th fret so a knife
[A#] _ [Bm] the second string
[A#] _ [C] And _ it slide [A#] it up again to the 21st fret
_ Or a [E] 21st fret on the high E string
[A#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ 24th fret _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#m] 422 and 21 is our last [A#] note right [F#m] so we're gonna have
_ [E] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _
Let's start this tapping arpeggio, [F#m] but for that we're gonna have _ _
Which [N] _ _ is just 17 19 21 19 17 19 _
So it's gonna be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ quite simple.
It's the same exact pattern that we had before when we started this huge lick
_ _ _ Except all we're gonna be [Dm] doing is we're gonna be sticking to both [A#] the first and second string and we're gonna go
Starting with our first finger _ 17 19 21
_ We're gonna go back forth like that then we're gonna go 21 on the high or the the B string
_ [F#m] _ _ So _ _ _ [G#] and _ _ then we're gonna [F#] go back to the high E string we're gonna go _ and _ _ then we're stuck [N] so our next
Part of it is gonna be the tapping arpeggio
It's gonna start on the 24th fret of the high E string and the pattern is gonna also go to the [Dm] second string _ so _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ 24 21 [B] 19 17
_ [E] _ _
_ then we're gonna slide over to the
[F] 19th fret with our middle finger sorry 21st fret and we're gonna do
_ 21 [C#m] 17 14 _
Then we're gonna go 21 on the third [A] string
21 _ [B] 18 16 14 and we're gonna go [A] forward again, so we're gonna go
_ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ Just [A] just [Dm] 14 16 18 [A] 21 _ _
Pull off [Dm] that and then [E] 21 on the fourth string _ 18
_ _ _ [B] Sorry 21 18 19.
Sorry [E] 16 14
_ _ _ Then we're gonna go _ [N] to
_ _ The 11th fret of the fourth [C#] string we're gonna go 14.
I'm sorry [E] 11 14 16 [A] _ 19
_ _ Pull that off then we're gonna go to the fifth [Em] string we're gonna do 19 _
[C#m] 16 14 19 16 [E] [B] 14 11 _ and
9 [D#m] _
[Bm] all _ _ _ _ [A] together
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
