|-------------------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| |-------------------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| Well, I did my best on this one and I think it's pretty accurate. The only part I'm not too sure about is the 2nd guitar solo, but if you just mess around with it, you should be able to get it to sound good. Here's a little trick: if you want to play in standard tuning, just play every- thing 4 frets lower (9th fret would be 5th fret). It is possible with this song. I just tab it this way because this IS the way Josh plays it. Thanks, Guitar Hero: Keith Dillon
