Solo Guitar Tab

This is the guitar break that Ross and Rocky make after the second chorus of the song when they
perform it live.

For this riff, use a D shape starting on the 7th fret
Ross perfoms this riff 4 times
Rocky doesn't accompany yet

e|----------7-----|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|------8-----8---|----8----10--8---------------------------------------------|
G|----7---7-------|--7---7----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|

After Ross plays that riff 4 times, he begins to "go up" through the fretboard; for this part,
you only need to move the note on the G string
Rocky doesn't accompany yet
e|----------7----|--------7----|--------7----|-------------7---------------|
B|------8-----8--|---8-------8-|----8------8-|------8---------8------------|
G|----7---7------|-8---8-------|--9---9------|--10-----10------------------|
D|---------------|-------------|-------------|-----------------------------|
A|---------------|-------------|-------------|-----------------------------|
E|---------------|-------------|-------------|-----------------------------|

After that riff, Ross goes down one note on the G string and then he keeps playing
the notes of an Em chord, 4 times

e|-----------7--------|
B|-------8-----8------|
G|-----9---9----------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|

While Ross is playing that arpeggio, Rocky plays this lick

e|----------------------------|------------------------------------------|
B|---8-7----------------------|--------------------------8/10--8~--------|
G|--------9-7-----------------|----------------------7-9-----------------|
D|------------9-7-5-----------|-------------5--7-7/9---------------------|
A|------------------7-5-------|---------5-7------------------------------|
E|----------------------7-5-3-|-3-5-5/7----------------------------------|

Then, Ross starts to go down the fretboard, only in the G note

e|--------7----|--------7---|-------7---|-------7---|----------7-----|---------7----------7--|
B|----8-----8--|----8-----8-|---8-----8-|---8-----8-|-----8-------8--|----8-------8-------8--|
G|--9---9------|--8---8-----|-7---7-----|-6---6-----|--5-----5-------|-5-----5------------5--|
D|-------------|------------|-----------|-----------|----------------|-----------------------|
A|-------------|------------|-----------|-----------|----------------|-----------------------|
E|-------------|------------|-----------|-----------|----------------|-----------------------|

While Ross is playing that, Rocky plays a little progression over E, D#, D, C# and C

e|------------|-----------|-----------|----------|----------------------|
B|------------|-----------|-----------|----------|----------------------|
G|----9---9-9-|---8---8-8-|---7---7-7-|---6---6-6|----5---5-5-----------|
D|------------|-----------|-----------|----------|----------------------|
A|--7---7-----|-6---6-----|-5---5-----|-4---4----|--3---3---------------|
E|------------|-----------|-----------|----------|----------------------|

After the C chord, Rocky plays a quick lick

B|----------------------------------|
G|-------------------5-7-7/8~-------|
