Tuning:1/2 step up
I tabbed this song at the request of Rockstar Dentist Johnny Mac. He said that there was no accurate tab or
video for this solo, so I came up with this. It sounds pretty good to me.
This song is in the key of A#m. I arrive at this tuning based on an open string hammer-on phrase in the 3rd
line. Additionally, I gathered that one of the opening whammy bar dips is from the open 
A augmentedA string.
Also, the first two Eddie Van Halen styled bent tap slides on the second line of this tab sound like they were
possibly bent sharp on the recording. It's also possible that the guitarist tapped 17 and accidentally slid to
16 the first time, and 16 and slide down 14 the second time. If you listen to the song, the guitar sounds
slightly out of key (in a bad way) there; I would recommend playing it the way I have tabbed it.
If you need any clarification for anything, post a comment or shoot me an e-mail. This solo is somewhat buried
in the mix, so listen closely for timing and vibrato.
