*Update 1 (Dec. 23, 2008 4:31am):
 I fixed up the solo. A lot of you guys didn't agree with it.
 So I made it easier to read and play. In order to make it seem
 like you're playing it fast, you have to rock the wah pedal
 back and forth real fast, while you're just picking the notes
 normal. As you're moving the wah pedal fast, it makes your playing
 seem like you're picking 32nd notes.
 
 
 
Legend:
... = palm muted
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
h = hammer on
p = pull off
__ = hold bend
~ = vibrato
() = note barely heard, or bring bent note back to normal
* = feedback
W = wammy bar
-2 = how many steps you push down the wammy bar
h/ = pick once
p\ = pick once
b = bend
1 = full step bend
.5 = half step bend
 
 
 
++++++++++++
 
The first couple of seconds of this song is just percussion, and
some random feedback.
