As with all guitar tablature, a mono-spaced font
(e.g. Courier or Monaco) is required to display properly...

Note... I don't usually include solos intact but this one is
a favorite of mine from way back (like 8th grade on)...
"space compressed" means spacing is messed up from the numbering
and makes it hard to show the speed. I broke it into separate
figures - fig. 4 is twice as long in writing because the notes
are twice as frequent (though the actual time playing in the song
is the same for 1, 2, and 3).
