It's not easy to beat the system - It's not easy to face the heat
But somebody's Bmgot to take this Bmmessage - GBack to Athe Bmstreet

Ron's Guitar Notes:
===================
#1 Bob Hartman (lead guitarist for Petra) uses a muted "crunch"
on these notes, most likely accomplished through the use of
dampening the strings with the heel of the right hand.
#2 Anyone know how Bob pulls off this massive Whammy effect? I've not
been able to duplicate it. (Just keep practicing, right?)
#3 I've found that the easiest (and best sounding) way of executing
the quick Dm-Dm-C-Dm (Jesus said, Go!), found in the chorus, is to
make a root five Dm, then pull off the last three fingers, leaving
just the bar on the 5th fret. This also works for the other
Dm-C-Dm-C part just after 'We gotta take this message...Back to
the street'
Tabbed, the chorus part would look like:
---------Dm---Dm-----C------Dm-----Bb--------------------------------
---6--6----------6----3-------------------------------------
---7--7----5-----7----3-------------------------------------
---7--7----5-----7----3-------------------------------------
---5--5----5-----5----1-------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Je-sus said Go (Go!)
#4 Since I'm on the subject of chords, generally I've found that
the root 5 and 6 "power" chords sound best throughout the song...
Except for this area of the song, which seems to sound best played
with conventional chords: (D with an open 4th string, A with the
open 5th string, etc.)

D]We gotta Atake this Bmmessage [G. <>
F]Back to Cthe stDmreet Dm C Dm[C. #5 Concerning part B of Bob's solo, the closest I was able to come to
"sounding like Bob" was to rapidly work the 2nd string in a rapid
fashion, climbing and sliding my way from the 9th to the 19th fret.
Just keep the notes ringing and let them meld together. It's also
possible that Bob plays ALL the notes of part B on the 2nd string.
Experiment with it.
