This is by the far the best tab for the guitar solo in this song by a looooong way. You've really captured those harmonic bends that gives this solo it's really distinctive sound. Thanks so much! I was really struggling to get figure out what was happening just by myself. Awesome job!

Yeah you COULD pick through tabs on here forever and reading the comments OR trying them out one by one. Or you could buy the book and not waste time looking around. Id rather spend my time actually playing it. But to each their own I guess.

Wow nice tab. I was looking at some others and didn't think they sounded right. Surprisingly yours wasn't rated yet, so I wasn't checking out, but I figured what the hell why not? It sounds really good.
