Ron's Guitar Notes

==================

#1 I use my pinky to crunch/mute the A note on the 5th fret of

the E string, then lay my first finger across the 2nd fret,

barring the 4th, 3rd and 2nd fingers. It comes close to

mimicking the driving bass here.

#2 You'll find the "lead-in solo" repeated in various parts of the

song, (including the ending) with only slight variations on the

few ending notes. (i.e. Sometimes a whammy down, sometimes a

slide down the neck, etc.)

#3 Barry Graul's solo incorporates a lot of slides into and out

of particular starting and ending notes. I've tried to include

all of the nuances of his technique, but if you're having trouble

figuring it out at first... try ignoring all the

slides (/'s and \'s).

Also...

Concerning " 15^17v15 " in the solo... the first note is picked

then the string is bent upward one whole step and brought back

down to the G note at the 15th. I wasn't sure if this would be

clear to everyone.
