For the rest of the song, bar lines indicate measures of 12/8 time. -Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the downbeats (1234) fall. (I've put some full timing lines in in a few spots.) -Some of the notes in the solo are so short in duration that they're essentially grace notes. I've indicated such notes by putting a "g" above the staff over these notes. ^...bend (w=whole tone) ~...vibrato hb..hold bend =...hold note r...release bend g...grace note h...hammer on tr..trill p...pull off /...slide up pm..palm mute \...slide down (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
