I’ve been looking at some of the guitar tabs for the solo here and
found that some were not very close to the original. So I tabbed this one
out from the youtube.com video (from the Jon Stewart show…very old) for
those who are perfectionists like me. I may not have this perfectly like
it is on the record, but it parallels the video.

*On the video here, Ross adds a pinch harmonic. On the record it’s just a normal E tonic.

**This is the ending phrase from the record, if you want to play it
like the video just play the B on the either the 4th fret of the
G-string or the 9th fret of the D-string which ever feels more comfortable
(don’t forget to add extreme vibrato, this is Ross Childress’ trademark).
