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). Fig. 1 [chord changes for entire song, though rhythm varies] [space compressed] |------------------------------------------------------------------
