Hey everyone! So I was watching Michael at a live concert and saw that his solo was different to the one that
I learnt (I just like to play the songs how the boys do I suppose haha) but I'll include both tabs.
I am only 13 and this is my first tab done by ear so sorry for mistakes!
The first tab I think is slightly easier than the second one.
Any problems/mistakes please let me know, thank youu

I can’t decide whether to put in the little extra he did after the solo but I gathered that theres so many
ways of adding cool little solo riffs you might as well make up your own
Thanks!
So I had another look at it and I found that my version was too high and off key so I've given it another shot and maybe it's close enough but I guess if anyone reads this they can just choose between the three!

There are numerous ways of doing this solo, I'm just giving it my best shot and of course, Michael uses a WahWah Pedal! Just have a play around and see which version suits you I guess :-)
