Lead Guitar
The lead guitar throws in various fills with this. Just listen to it
and toss in things where they sound right. There're no real definate
notes to play here, just use your imagination.

Throw in every so often

Lead Guitar
Okay, turbo-pick the parts with the * above them. On the very last part,
where you're bending the E (|---9--|), bend it once then vibrato then bend
it further and vibrato, etc. Listen to the song to get it. Also, the
descending part isn't right either...it's greatly simplified. But I can't
play as fast as Ross...so...live with it.
