Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

So this is my first tab (sorta).
Hope it's good..
There is already an excellent version of this as both tabs and chords, so
you can get the fingerpicking pattern for the acoustic and the chord
progression for the electric.
All that leaves is the solo. 
There's a lot of gain to make the guitar really scream and the bass is 
turned down a bit.

These next two phrases are really tricky and these are as authentic as I can
get. Really, anything in the Am pentatonic should work but these will get
you fairly close to the original version.
