followed by home solo of course. anyway, this solo was harder to tab than to figure out, im 100% sure i have mistakes, and on some parts i just wrote simliar in scale lines, but most of it is correct, and it will give you all you need to preform this solo, now i will write comments throughout the tab that will TRY to explain you what to do and i got some signs that you probably didn't see before, so here is the legend: * = pinched note hb = hold bend rb = release bend / = slide to note h = hammer on p = pull off # = stirke this note alot of times real fast! v = vibrate full half half half

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok, here what you need to do is bend the note hold it, then pinch it, then release it while pulling of to the next note. half half half half half half
