to make it out under the solo.

Solo: This is merely an outline of what Daniel Mongrain is playing
and will no doubt contain many, many errors. The bar spacing
will most probably be miles off so listen to the CD for the
correct timing.

Song Structure:
Sorry folks, I'm fuckin beat after bustin' a gut with this
motherfucker so on this one occcasion please forgive me as I
ask you to listen to the CD for the song order.
All the riffs should be there but I stress again that this
will not be a perfect tab. Far from it, in fact, when you
consider the level of accomplishment of Daniel Mongrain and
Jason Suecof. Anyway, if you can offer corrections then please
send them to me via the email at the top of the page. Thanks.
Also, I encourage you to register a rating that reflects the
quality of this tab. The only way I know that a tab needs
improving or not is if people give it an ACCURATE rating.
Thanks in advance.
