There are plenty of little fills that turn up here and there and I've chosen to list them as Riffs for the most part. The solo rocks. It's slightly different than Ace's early stuff but the thematic character of it is classic Ace, and the harmony part that closes the solo is just too cool. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum
