Great solo but it needs that low D to start it off to sound just right. If you don't feel like tuning down just use the open D-string for the start. Other than that there's nothing out of the ordinary here. Watch out for Riff 1, it shows up in the first half second verse (pan hard left to hear it). Note also that the overdriven electric doubles Rhy. Figs 2a and 2b. 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
