the 7-10-9 at the very end of the song should be on the F string instead of the A string but other than that, awesome tab

Brando17 is right. the last note of the solo should either end on thte 10 fret of the third string, or the 15th fret of the 4th string.

something seems wrong with the way the solo sounds. it sounds like it should end on the 10th fret on the 3rd string. But i could be wrong. Great tab though
