Guthrie?s (AMAZING) solo... The fast parts are WAY to hard to tab for me, sorry for not having 
it complete :( If anyone wants to complete AND correct this solo (I?m SURE not everything I have 
is correct), you will def. get credits in here. Most of what I have is correct, so it should give 
you a great head start!

I honestly have no idea how they get the heavier effect, I?m guessing (and playing) with an octave 
down pedal mixed in with the original signal. Repeat quite a few times.

Repeat second bar as needed, I?m very curious with this bar, sometimes I want to play
the chords with the root on the sixth string, not sure if it?s the bass or the guitar,
you decide...I need live videos of this :(
