I'm not a guitarist! I just transcribed by ear. I omitted most slides and bends -
you guys can listen to the original and add them in where you feel fit.
Stay safe out there and check your lines of sight!
* Ridiculon's official video has "and when my tail has been all but towed".
tale/told made more sense to me (and is how I heard it).
