with some parts from D. Whitehill (transcription)
and Daniel Tonya (tab) 

    Well, here its my version of this great solo the way I play it. 
Okay, I know that Dave Whitehill/Daniel Tonya's transcription/tab is the 
best around the net, but I thought that my own version could be a bit 
easier to play than the former. In fact, I took some parts from them 
(I'll indicate which parts) but added the 2nd guitar that makes the 
great harmony at the end of the solo. Enjoy!!
