If you want this in Adobe format it looks 10 times better and easier to read. Just email
me and i'll send it to you. It will look like you bought it in a store! All you need is
the adobe reader which is free.
This is the whole song. It's played with alot of 2 guitar parts. I have them seperated but
you can play it on one guitar. The solo is dead on balls accurate as I have watched him
play it a million times.
