This is the version from the 'Singles 1996-2006' CD. Mike does a different solo on
versions, so the solo included is to the Nutshell version on that CD.

...and thats it! If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
 
The solo might have one or two notes off, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
The verse part is 100% correct along with the chorus, I've watched him play it multiple times.
 
 
| /  slide up
| \  slide down
| h  hammer-on
| p  pull-off
| ~  vibrato
| +  harmonic
| x  Mute note

where's the rest of the solo? theres a chunk missing from the middle! omg please finish it! great tab though mad props

isn't this by Alice in chains?

To rebelxriotxgirl: No, there isn't a chunk missing from the solo. Mike does a couple different versions of the solo, and like the tab states, this is the solo he does from the Hiro Ballroom version that is on The Singles 1996-2006 CD.
