Notes: This is just how I play it, my own interpretation so dont
expect it to be 100% accurate :)
Listen to CD for timing (tab spacing is often imprecise)
There are, as ever, various performance differences in riffs, but
these are mainly just the same parts, only a third or an
octave higher, so I dont see a need to tab those out.

Solo:
Not going to be 100% accurate, but most of the melodic parts
are here, its just the fast runs I have problems with so dont
expect them to be perfect. For most notes, if they arent
trem picked(ie the runs), then add a small vibrato to them.
