We have an official Sappy tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

This solo is a fun one to play when done right! Whenever you see a bend hold that bend until it says to
release it. Alternatively, you can hammer on and pull off instead of bending if it is easier. The bends have
different lengths and pitches so listening to the song while learning will help. For an example of how the
solo sounds, check out my cover on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnZSwa-FKn8

------------------------ ------------------------ -4-4s6-6-6s8-888-8b9br8- ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ This tab is spot on, apart from this one bit. On the video you linked you can see that the 6 to 8 transition is a hammer on instead of a slide, it makes more sense and it's easier to do the bend afterwards, and sounds more accurate. Just wanted to point it out, because apart from that little bit, this solo tab is really useful and on point!
