I think that the arpeggiated guitar has a bit too much distorsion though. I've transcribed samples of what Paul plays during this song since he varies quite a lot (at least it sound like he does). Nice solo. Kind of sounds more like Paul than Ace but I'm not sure (I think the vibrato tells the story). 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
