Intro:
It's a pretty good mess. I think I hear the open B string,
but who knows... Perhaps this was done on a 12 string.

Transcription by Ville Sinkko (vs@clinet.fi)
Note: In the part marked with '*start here' and '*end here'
(coincidentally the fastest part of the solo), i've dropped
out all the 1's from fret numbers .This means that in that
part of the tab '35653' reads '13 15 16 15 13'.
