this once... and hey dont judge me on the main riff part of this tab; these
are the correct notes, i'm just not exactly sure where on the fretboard he's
playing them- (what notes he's hitting open, etc. etc.)open to suggestions.
feel free to comment with suggestions. oh and also with the solo if you
for some reason have the energy/desire to want and figure that out....
