Apart from three rhythm guitars, there's a little fill (on the left by the way) in the verse, and there are at least two solo guitars. Since things get kind of muddy when there are five guitars playing at once I'm a little unsure about some of the solo stuff. The sixteenths in the outro seem to be right though. For such a simple song they sure piled it on here. 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
