So I left it out, tabbed in the rhythm part, and picked up the solo again where the song returns to the slower 4/4 tempo. ^...bend (w=whole tone,s=semi) ~...vibrato r...release bend =...hold note h...hammer on /...slide up p...pull off \...slide down pm..palm mute x...muted note o tr..trill o...repeat the bars between the symbols (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
