Guthrieâ??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 (Iâ??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!

Break

I honestly have no idea how they get the heavier effect, Iâ??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, Iâ??m very curious with this bar, sometimes I want to play 
the chords with the root on the sixth string, not sure if itâ??s the bass or the guitar, 
you decide...I need live videos of this :(
