Love the interlude and the Key change.....what a great song and tab, this all you need as you can really go places with the way you wrote it, a rocky no brainer with the best beat imaginable...I had a blast playing this with a distorted sound it's great! 😎🤘

There's a bit missing here - the solo at 1:10 is over a key change,so C Eb F. After that is the interlude with the repeated A note on the high e string and the bass note descending chromatically. Only after that does it go back to A for the instrumental/outro solo.

Nice job! The updates makes this tab valuable for beginners and to simplify further the C Eb F part can be played pretty easily with less movement on 4 strings at the 8th fret: C x-10-10-9-8-x, Eb xx-8-8-8-x, F xx-10-10-10-x
