I ran out of room but at the end of the solo Lee plays XX7777 harmonic and

bends it with a trem bar, or by pulling on the neck.

here is where my notation gets weird.

guitar 1 (again strumming not shown)

FIG 1 FIG 2

A---0--0--0--|--0--0--0--|

A---0--0--0--|--0--0--0--|

guitar 2 plays 002200 with fig 1. and 000000 with fig 2. it sounds bad

when i play it too, but guitar 2 is way down in the mix and i promise that

is what they play.

guitar 2

with FIG 1 (repeat) repeat

A---17-17-17-16-19-|-[-19-19-19-19-17-16-17-16-]--16-16-16-16-17-16-17-16-x\-|

A---17-17-17-16-19-|-[-19-19-19-19-17-16-17-16-]--16-16-16-16-17-16-17-16-x\-|

trem pick the last slide down.

guitar 1 plays 006600

while guitar 2 plays 886600 then 776600.

guitar 2 continues as above

while guitar 1 repeats:

A---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

A---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

G---3-3-3-2-3-5-3-2-2-2-2-2-0-2-|

F#------------------------------|

it ends with Lee dropping the trem bar on 776600 with the top 4 somewhat

muted.
