I looked at the other tab for this and I found it very confusing. So I figgered I'll
it out for you all and
this is what I came up with:
X - mute string
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
h - hammer on
*7* - pinch harmonic

Solo:
Alex Lifeson is one of the most underrated guitarist ever, only because he didn't play
lightning fast arpeggios like the guitarist of his time. But here shows that when he wants
to be fast, it's still Lifeson and you can tell.
When you do these pinch harmonics, Alex really shows off, so all pinches should pinch
then as squawky as you possibly can!
