Tuning: EbAbDbGbBbEb
Q=80
Note: This is not the whole song--just the guitar solo. Someone else has a tab on the whole song
which is very good but the guitar solo didn't sound right so here's how I play it in a
more precise version. I also notated note length so if you don't know how to read that then
just listen to the song for correct timing. Also, if there's no note below a length notation, then
that means it's a rest.
The Solo: (Starts around 2:24 and ends at 2:36--pretty short)
Measure 1: 2:24 - 2:27

-On the first 9, I do a very slight vibrato where it's
barely audible. After the half note on the 9, I slide down the neck
so I can come in for this rake I do on the first note of the next
measure.
Measure 3: 2:30 - 2:33

^--I rake this note but Billy doesn't on the song. Do what you want.
Measure 4 (Last): 2:33 - 2:36

^--I also rake this note, too, though, Billy doesn't. Make sure this bend lasts the
whole whole note. Very slow bend and not too noticeable.
-After this note, you play an open A chord to get back into the chorus.
Thank you for viewing my tab! If you have any questions about how I tabbed it, feel free to ask.
