I couldn't figure out the solo, its played in F# and with a wah if

if anyone wants to give it a try

Suggestion from Hugh Yik (hyik@nb.sympatico.ca)

Detune 1/2 step to Eb

Intro bass

Suggestion from Nick Arciaga (jedirex311@earthlink.net)

I couldnt figure the solo all out, they probably use a wah pedal but I have

this part which seems accurate enough

I am not sure of the frets, but the general idea is

e|-------10----------12b-10-----------10--|
B|-10-12----12-10-12--------12-10--12-----|

Then

e|-10b-10b-10b/15-13----------13-|
B|-------------------15-13-15----|

then its way too fast for me...just make something up.
