The four different parts that each member plays are completely independent from each other. There are tons of dissonant notes, chromatic lines and chords, and rhythmic oddities. Have fun and really work on the solo section. It can do wonders for your arpeggio solo work.

It doesn't really matter what octave you play them in or which fingering you use as long as it is the chord. or something. C A/C# G Eb+ C/E F D/F# G E/G# Am Bmaj7 Am Ab C You basically do that chord phrase three times through for the piano solo. Then the guitar solo is over those same chords(page plays them this time of course). Solo to "Foam" by Trey Anastasio and Phish From: ericbe@microsoft.com (Eric Berman) Foam is a fairly straighforward solo to play, but it's a lot of fun nevertheless. The solo works very directly from the chords: if you look at the notes of the solo, it's really just arpeggiations that outline the chord changes. The beauty of the solo (IMHO) is how each chord leads into the next, and how the solo anticipates the chord change in such a natural way.
