Notes:



To do the  two pre-bends in the solo, place your finger on the 10th fret and bend it up 

pitch

BEFORE you pluck it.  Pluck the string, then release the bend back to the original pitch.

This requires ear training, and also muscle memory so your fingers don't bend too far or 

far enough.

I pulled my hair out getting this technique down, and I'm still not that great at it,

it sounds awesome

when you finally start to nail it.  Hope everyone enjoys the tab and isn't confused by

I hope it isn't sloppy.
