Disclaimer: for the following notes I loaded the isolated lead guitar into an editing program and listened and played it in slow motion to find the exact notes. This took several hours, I don't want to know things better, the taps here are close, but not quite 100%. For everyone who wants to play the song correctly, as I do, because he plays this song with his band, for example, here are a few notes: No pull off is used in the intro, he sweeps: INTRO Lead Guitar (0:00 - 0:49) M V M M V M M V M M V M M V M V eb|12-12-----14-0----15-0----14-0----14-0-------| Bb|-------12------12------12------12------12-12-| x3 M V M M V M M V M M V M M V M M eb |-17-0----17--0----15-0----15--0-----14--0-----14---------| Bb|-------15--------15-----15-------15--------15-------------| M = down V = up It's very important to pettern the stroke, otherwise you won't get up to speed.
