Solo (tabbed by DaveUK)

For the sake of time and space, I'll abreviate licks that are repeated.

-20/bu-slide up xxxx-22-20-17---------------------
---------------------------------22-20-17---------
---------------------------------------------20-19-17-

--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------


Ok this bit is a repetative pattern so I'l tab it just the one time.
He starts off the lick heavily muted with his palm, then he gradually opens
up the palm mute as he opens up the wah. Listen to it, you'll know which bit
I mean. Oh and one more thing, its picked hellishly fast.


-----------------------------
-------10-15----------10-15--
-13------------13------------

-----------------------------

Then the slow part of the solo.
Repeat this bit twice (very slight variation the 2nd time around, but nothin tricky)

--------------------------------------------------
-10/bu^^^^^---------------------------------------
---------------12/bu-10---------------------------
---------------------------12-10------------------
-----------------------------------10bu-----------
--------------------------------------------------

This bit stats easy enough but builds to a pretty fast Zakk trade mark lick.


-13-10-----------13-10---------
---------13-10-----------13-10-
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------

About 2 thirds through this lick as he has built to its full speed he adds......


-13-10-------------------------10--------13-15-13-10-
----------13-10--------10-13--------13------------------13-
------------------12------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------

The above part finishes on the 13th fet, top E, give the note some wide vibrato
and then into this last fast pent run.......

--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------

The solo finishes with a very fast hammer on, pull off lick. I do this by doing
the normal hammer on pull off technique, then to get the speed I tap the note
I'm hammering onto with my middle finger of my picking hand. Its tricky at
first but once you get the cordination it works great.
