I don't think I've missed anything.
The first solo is similar to the Intro so
you should be able to work it out from that.

Tuning: Standard
This is my first tab, but I hope you like it. I looked all over the Internet for
tab that had the full song, but the closest I found was the other one on this website.
think this sounds right, but experiment with it. (I use some of my own improvised
and pull-offs; you can probably tell where...)
Rhythm Chords: Solos - Use these chords for rhythm when the solos are playing, only
I think that they provide a little more soul and sound because you can just slide from
to another right up the neck.

Rhythm Chords: Verses/Chorus - Use these chords for rhythm when the rest of the
is playing with the chorus and the verses. They provide a great sound, but not too great
the lead guitarist will be playing these chords as well between the licks. Lead guitar
also play these chords.

E|---x---| E|---x---| E|---x---| E|---2---| E|---x---|
Always use the E, G#m, and F#m chords as barre chords because it seems easier, but for
bridge before the first solo (E,B,G#m,F#m) use the "solo B" because you're already on the
and 9th frets for the E, so just make the B from that. * The Am is for the rhythm on the verses.
