The note is fretted at the 14th fret, but the pitch of the last 3 notes is the pitch at the 16th fret. -In the slide guitar solo, one note is tabbed as the 24th fret. That goes beyond the fretboard of my guitar, but with a slide it can be done. -Tips for slide playing: Place slide directly over the fret, not behind it as in standard style playing. Don't press down on the fret. -In Bars 17-18 of the Outro solo, 'etc' just means to keep repeating the part tabbed in that bar. -For anyone wondering about the tuning, I established that it was D tuning by watching the official video for the song. To play along to the recording, for those who don't want to retune their guitar a full step down, there's also the option of taking an mp3 of the song and using a freeware program like Audacity to raise the song in pitch one step. ^...bend (w=whole tone,s=semi,q=quarter) ~...vibrato hb..hold bend =...hold note (let note ring) r...release bend /...slide up h...hammer on \...slide down p...pull off (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
