Because the singer Stefan Schmidt is performing those soli with his voice its very hard
to hear which notes he
plays. It a pretty fast run down and as long as you play with those notes it should be
about right. I am aware
that those notes are incorrect, but they should help you to find out the solo by
yourself. (If you play it with
a real Wah Pedal, your notes will mix naturally so it will sound original) PS. Only the
Parts with *** are
probably incorrect, the others should be correct.
