Ok i´ve been all over the web trying to find this, but haven´t
seen anything but the solo, so i thought i´d do it by myself.
This is a rather tricky song to figure out, because of all small
licks, so everything might not be correct...
Use a delay,set at about 250 ms or so,plus a flanger to give
that ominous distorted sound that Eddie gets.
There´s bits of lyric to help you keep up.
Anyway, here goes:
