//Vadin (oct 2006)
What you called an Ab is actually A# or Bb
Buckethead quit in 2004 either that or he was fired... Either way Robin Fink is actually the one who had the solo
*Rolls Eyes*
Buckethead plays the solo on the demo, and that is definatly not finck with the shredding solo sorry.
Finck plays the bluesey solo.
