[solo1] play E G A F# under solo1 Okay, the amazing thing about this solo -- and I shit you not -- is that not only is it on an acoustic guitar (!) driven by an Ebow (!!), but there are FOURTEEN studio tracks of it! (!!!) So don't worry if this isn't exact. :) bend up & down ---10---------10----------------------------------------------------------- --------10h12-----10-/14\10--7--b7(8)b7b7(8)------------------------------- ----0---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------b4(5)b4b4(5)-/12--11h12p11--- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- normal guitar, let open strings ring into power chords ---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------0----------------0----------------------- -------------------9-----9---9-----9---------------------------- --/14--\9--7-----9---9-----9-----9---9-------------------------- ---------------7---------------7-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Distortion!
