I have not figured out the first solo yet, but I almost
have it. So I will not write it. I do know the first
part of the second solo, but not all of it.
Solo 2:
|—3——————-| This is only the begining
|——2h3p2————| of the solo. This repeats
|————4—2—4B—| four times before it becomes
|———————-| higher.
|———————-|
|———————-|
Repeat the rest of the riffs with the verses.
This song is pretty easy to play. It sounds
good with the CD.
