OK, here's a decent tab of Rock and Roll Band. The solo's kinda sketchy,

because there's two guitars, and I only bothered with one. I think

by now you know my bend notation, but if I haven't explained it, it's

like this: 14b16 means bend 14 up to the note that 16 would make, i.e.

a full step. 16b14 means bend the note before picking and then bring it

down to pitch (down a full step in this case). The / means slide up, \

means slide down. So here's Rock and Roll Band...

The verse lick goes like this:

1-3. 4. 5-6.

The 1-3 is the ending of the lick for times 1-3, 4. for the 4th,

etc. After the sixth time it goes

The chorus chords are

Then back to the verse and chorus, etc. The solo goes something

like this, but there's two guitars and I only did one.

The rest of the song is pretty much just verse/chorus stuff.

Have fun,
