Stuart says:
This is pretty much the way I played this one for my band's cut
on KillermontStreet.com's second tribute CD.
It might not be note-for-note exact, but it's fun, anyway ... I've broken this down
into two parts for two separate guitars: Guitar I plays the rhythm chords (different
voicings can be used, as well). Guitar II, tabbed at the bottom, plays all the licks
and soloes. I've probably been a little lazy on this tab, so
e-mail me if you need any help. -- Stu
