There are a few parts that repeat without variation but they are few so I used this form. Just look out for the number of times things are played. Go for a tone with lots of midrange to cut through and play hard with a pick. All the "x"¥s are left-hand mutes. My guess is that Ace played this himself. Doesn't sound like Gene at all.
