He varies the pattern he plays a litle for the last verse. One the right is Ace who puts down some sparse high register chords for extra punsch. For the "chrrus" riff, both Paul and Ace play the main riff (Rhy. Fig 10) while there's an overdubbed guitar doing Rhy. Fig 11. The solo. Who but Ace would bend the same note 14 times to start a solo. Nice pentatonic runs that are fairly safe but nevertheless fit the song to a "T". 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
