I believe a true opinion of the song will make you enjoy it more.
From a fellow guitarist i mean.
This song in my opinion is the greatest known song to mankind. the words,
the guitar riff's. every bit a masterpiece, Zakk Wyld is a true god of music. He is the
creator of many bands, many songs, many lyrics, even his own custom guitar and pedal.
Many people have attempted to tab this song, all have failed in the internet
world, my older brotehr and i have found it. sounds perfect. so long as you practice it
until you've mastered playing it and can play it very fast. this is not a beginner song,
learn this after you've already played for awhile.
Now, many people have said this song is in 'Drop D'. meaning the top string
is lowered to a D cord. this is incorrect. the song is played in standard pitch. well..
everyone's ears hear different sounds, so my standard pitch it probably different than
yours. close or not,Standard-Pitch.

[Metal.] there is 2 Versions weather you like it
more powerful or not, the higher note Version
is how Zakk Wyld does it, some people like
the lower power cords. especially if you have an
accoustic,harder to reach 12/14 as a cord.
[Solo.] the solo of this song is a truely amazing piece
very hard to pin point the exact cordage of
a solo by Zakk Wyld at all but especially for
Stone the Crow. I have created myself, a close
replica of his solo. listen to the song and play
with it. this sounds as close as it is...

This goes into [Metal.] use one of the [Metal.] Versions after
[Solo.] and then go into the Intro sound + Lead.
