Fill 2 (F2)
I know I know it just keeps going but I tabbed all the guitar in this song
This is actually the solo
Play each note and bend the tremlo back to stretch your strings and cause
the pitch to raise about one full step. If you don’t have a tremlo just bend the string, but make sure you exaggerate the bend
