    NOTES:
     
  • In the tablature, I have tried to use spacing to represent the rhythm.
    However, as always, your best bet is to listen closely to the
    recording, especially since the ostinato soloing varies from verse to
  • verse. Don't pay too much attention to my x's and when to slide, when
    not to slide, etc., those are just my personal mannerisms when playing
    the song. At first, I was going to transcribe the solo, but it is
  • kind of... how do we put it... messy. It's entirely based on E
    pentatonic minor, though, and it would be no sweat for you to find
    your own version of his solo.
