GOOD LUCK!

I learned this song mainly by ear, so I'm not entirely sure if this is all right, but
pretty sure it's right. Just as a warning, I'm not tabbing the solo, cuz it's pretty easy
figure out, if you have the time.
When I play this song I use distortion, Phaser, and a little Reverb. Sadly I don't have
wah pedal yet. Anyways, enjoy this tab, and sorry for whatever mistakes are in it. For
first couple times, you might have to listen to the song while playing for this tab to
a lot of sense. lol.

Solo --- Listen to the song, it's easy to figure out if you have time. I'm not going to
it. It's also fun to do your own improvising on the solo.
