The rhythm parts, which are handled mostly by a single guitar placed dead center in the mix, are very simple. It's pretty much all power chords. The two other guitars weave in and out of the main riff with a wealth of little fills and reinforcing the rhythm here and there. Live they do this song by alternating the fills and rhythm so I suggest you do the same when playing this one. The solos (this is really a fun guitar song since there are three solos in addition to the fills) are very repetitive and only use Ace's standard licks. 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 Rhythm Fig. 1 Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------| Gb|--2----------2--------2------------2--------2------| Db|--2----------2--------2------------2--------2------| Ab|--0----3--4-----0--0---------3--4-----0--0--0------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| P.M.
