Let me start off by saying..."This is the most bad ass song ever written and that 
Edgar Winter is a genius'." The fills are almost all keyboard (I prefer to play them on guitar).


****UPDATED****
Now all rhythm guitar parts are tabbed, still missing synthesizer solos.

Keys
h - hammer-on
p - pull-off
b - bend
r - release
~ - vibrato
/ - slide down
\ - slide up
<#> - strike note (#) while in bend

Credits:
Edgar Winter - Synthesizer, Saxophone, and Drums (during "Double Drum Solo")
Rick Derringer - Guitar
Ronnie Montrose - Guitar
Dan Hartman - Bass
Chuck Ruff - Drums

NOTE: All synth "Fills" are played after, not during, a "Part" of the song.
