"Dweller On The Threshold" - Joe Satriani
From the album - "Time Machine"
Transcribed by: Doug Allam
Tabbed by: Doug Allam

Here's a really cool song with an awesome solo, the riffs are pretty 
easy but it sounds cool.  If you have any questions, comments, 
corrections, or suggestions just send me an email at 
joesatrianirulz@hotmail.com Thanks!!
By the way, Glenda, if you see this, this is NOT the Van Morrison song.

Riff A: It sounds like Joe is using a slight delay to play this, you 
might wanna try it.  Or, he might have another guitar doubling this.

Chorus: The chorus consists of a bunch of slides, however, make sure
you pick every note, or it won't sound right.

Now Joe goes into his solo.  I'm still working on this solo, I think
I've figured out the technique Joe is using here. What I think he might
be doing is muting all 6 strings with his left hand and doing some
weird vertical pick tapping/scraping with his right hand.  I haven't 
figured out the whole solo yet but here's what I have so far.  I got it 
as close as I could to what the cd sounds like.
