That's that!  It is a hard song to learn,  but once you get it right it is a great way to impress
your friends.  Listen to the song to learn the timing of the song,  it is prettty fast, and there
is a lot of finger work in the solo and lead out.  

*Tip*  Sometimes on the main riff it may have to much bass, if this happens don't play the 0 on 
the 5th string.

*Tab Explanation*
b=bend 
br=bend and release to normal note 
h=hammer on
p=pull off

The line above the 1st string in the tablature on some rows shows how much to bend the string
