Note: in the second guitar solo tab, everything in between two asterisks (*)
indicates guitar one, and everything between two number signs (#) indicate
guitar two, as it is a dueling guitars solo.
Hope all that came through okay…there might be a problem or two with
alignment. Feel free to post comments, I know a part or two of the lead isn’t
right, once I get it perfect I’ll correct myself, but this is how I play it
live now, and it gets the job done with a little flash (lol). Thanks y’all.
