The relatively sparse guitar on the left is probably Ace. The solo is of the thematic variety that was very common in these early days. Set up a pattern, play a little ditty, repeat the pattern with minor variation and finish the solo. If this kind of frame is used, one or more times per solo, you will have just about every solo on this album. 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
