SOLO
What I have figured out on the solo is not complete, but I will
edit it in as soon as it's correct. I've just got the basics of it
right now. I promise the solo will be here eventually, I've gotta
find time to sit and figure it out with it slowed down because this
solo has some speed to it. Sorry about that, but for now you can play
the Main Riff 2x and then go to Transtion 3.
