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
