----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: -4/4 time, bar lines do indicate timing -dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the downbeats (1234) fall -A few trouble spots to be aware of: 1.Some of the guitar rhythms may be a bit different from what's tabbed, because sometimes it's hard to hear the exact rhythm being played.Examples are Staff #2 and Staff #4, so have a listen for yourself to decide on the exact rhythm the guitars are playing throughout. 2.Unsure about measures 5-7 of the guitar solo, couldn't hear the part very clearly. 3.2nd measure of the first staff: Those first two double stops could be a pulloff. |-2p0- I couldn't determine for sure if it is or isn't. |-2p0- ^...bend (s=semi-tone, w=whole
