This song alos has an 8 solo that I couldn't really have time to tab, unless you are desperate for this song. Enjoy. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
