  Note:
  
  Since most of you probably know the original here is the live one. Dave
  plays his a bit different and Janick scraps Adrians completley putting a
  whole new twist on it.

      Key:
                    p=pull off  
                    h=hammer on
                    b=bend
                    r=realease
                    Vibe=vibrato
                    /=slide up
                    =slide down
  
                                                           Well Boys and
  Girls there it is. Hope you all have fun learning it and playing it.
  Remember, for you begginers take it easy. Look at everything one lick at
  a time. All solos are not just one giant mess. They are individual ideas
  and feelings expressed in pieces. Learn all the licks first and then
  connect them. I Know all of you can do it so take it slow and don't
  stress over it. As for you Lead Vets- Here's another piece for you to
  sink your fretboard into. Listen closley to the album to hear the certain
  feed back, pinch, Nat Harmonics that are going on.  Any comments,
  questions, or requests keep them coming. And remeber.....Eddie loves you.
