"Shit House Shuffle"(Joe Perry)
 performed by Aerosmith on "Pandora's Box"(1991)
 transcribed by Bryson Meunier

          "At first I thought, who's gonna be interested in this, but then I
figured maybe someone will get something out of it"
                                                   -Joe Perry

        Here's my arrangement of this thirty-five second rock opera from
Pandora's Box. The main riff is also played in "South Station Blues" by the
Joe Perry Project. Have fun with it. Long live Aerosmith.

main riff:

   E---------------------------------------------------------|
   B---------------------------------------------------------|
   G---------------------------------------------------------|
   D-----------3p0---0---3p0---0-----0-----------------------|
   A-----------------------------------------3-----2-----0---|
   E---0h1\3-------------------------------------------------|

        Play that riff moderately fast eight times and then try this:
        A   F#5  G5   A5  G5
   E----------------------------------------------------------|
   B----------------------------------------------------------|
   G----------------------------------------------------------|
   D----2----4----5----7---5----5--5--------------------------|
   A----2----4----5----7---5----5--5--------------------------|
   E----0----2----3----5---3----3--3--------------------------|

        After you have played that a couple of times, fade out on the main
riff.  You should be able to figure out the timing by listening to the
music. Questions, comments and corrections should be sent to meunier.1@osu.edu
