In the first part of the solo, you should carefully hear the recording to get the right
feeling, it`s more important than the notes I wrote. Some of them are really hard to hear
as John phrases in a very irregular manner, and only a couple of notes are picked,
so get ready to use light-speed hammers and pulls.
Second part is a collection of "how the hell can tou play that fast?" licks that sould
make you have fun for long. Thank you, John.
Now I am working in tabbing the complete song, so any correction, comment, or
whatever will be welcome.
May the Force be with you (you will need it...!)
