credit. 2.- I only have the live version of PENO so if you find anything weird, DON'T blame me!!!

Second time: switch the first 14 for a 17 on the low E chord, THAT is the
note on "[]". OH and SLIGHTLY palm mute this part.
(E)SOLO!!!!
Note: Use the chorus RYTHM ... NOT the lead ... If you do use them DON´T blame ME ´cause
sounds bad!!!

THAT'S IT!!! ... now ... here's the riff progretion: (if you noticed, there are letters
brackets in the first part of the riff)
BUT FIRST!!! ... here's the low intro part corrected as I promised:
There are this numbers on the high part:
e|-------------------|
B|-------12-13-15-17-|
G|-12-14-------------|
Switch them for:
e|-------------------|
B|--------9-10-12-14-|
G|--9-11-------------|
And there you have it, You'll figure out how to play it right.
So .... Here's the riff progretion:
Intro
A x2
B x1 (Rythm and lead TOO!!)
C x1
A x2
B x1
D x2 (Including the note on the low E chord)
E x1 (As I said, play the chorus rythm as solo rythm, and make you own variations of
solo, add bends and shaking, etc.)
A x2
B x2
Final solo ... I can't do it
