There are a couple of parts in the solo that I'm sure aren't right. If you can make corrections to it, please email me and I'll give you credit. Corrections: 1.1 - Fixed a couple of minor things I missed. ^ = palm mute ( ) = pinch harmonic / = slide b = bend r = release bend h = hammer on p = pulloff Tuning (low to high): D G C F A D INTRO
