NOTES:
 
    This song is not as easy as it appears, since the guitar picking is
so audible - so keep a good beat!  The solo is very distorted and heavy.
Be careful not to throw in too much vibrato, or it will sound wimpy.
Hope my notation doesn't confuse you.  It works for me!

Thanks to lrh2@aberystwyth.ac.uk (Luke) for pointing out a typo in
the original (a rather significant typo!)
