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

 
 Eb|--3-3-3-2-1-1-1-2-3--|

Main riff

 Ab|--5-5-5-2-3-3-3-4-5-5-5-4-3-3-3-2--|
 Eb|--3-3-3----------------------------|

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.

 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
 
 {sot}
 e|-------10----------12b-10-----------10--|
 B|-10-12----12-10-12--------12-10--12-----|
 {eot}
 
 Then
 
 {sot}
 e|-10b-10b-10b/15-13----------13-|
 B|-------------------15-13-15----|
 {eot}
 then its way too fast for me...just make something up.
