This is the clip version, which in my opinion kicks the **** outta the album one 2ND SOLO (cool!!!) Jeff Hanneman RYTHYM: Same as Chorus This solo is pretty easy ? its mostly tap picking. The only problem you might have is the speed with some of the ?interlude? parts between tap picking bits.

This is a really great song to both play and listen to. remember, you do not need to play the solos exactly as they are written, rather come up with your own solos, that suit you. good luck! hate mail, questions, viruses and that sort of stuff to the_outlaw_torn_69@hotmail.com
