I have not figured out the first solo yet, but I almost
have it. So I will not write it. I do know the first
part of the second solo, but not all of it.
Solo 2:
|--3-------------------| This is only the begining
|-----2h3p2------------| of the solo. This repeats
|------------4--2--4B--| four times before it becomes
|----------------------| higher.
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
Repeat the rest of the riffs with the verses.
This song is pretty easy to play. It sounds
good with the CD.
