_____ MAIN ELECTRIC SOLO is mainly played on thin e string :
E -2s3—5—7h8p7—7—5—7———————, then
E -2s3—5—7h8p7—7—5—7—5h7p5—3————
However in part 2, and just before the thing becomes
Seriously noisy, this solo goes a slight different way :
E -2s3—5—7h8p7—7—5—7———————, then
E -2s3—5—7h8p7—7—5—7—5h7p5—2s7h10p7—-, and
E -7h10p7-7h10p7-11b12-11-10-9-7-6s7-6s7-5s3—, and
E -0h3-5-5b6b5-3p0h3——3h5p3—3————-
B ——————-0h3———————-,
Then, before the real «plasma» noise, play chords :
C C—>D* D*—>F* F*—>G*
G*—>A* A*—>C* C*—>A* E*—>D*
_____ LAST PART (calm follows the storm we say in french)

A —3————————————————
E —0————————————————, then

Take it further, ride the tiger.
