. . . the remainder of the solo is basically Lindsey doing his own thing - let's just
ourselves to do the same as well, and save "Mr. Tab-Writer" the time of having to type out
improvised note!
NOTE: If some of this tablature seems unclear (i.e. the rhythm, the timing, the
the ending, etc.), just listen to the song - it should be pretty self-explanatory. If the
tab is too complicated, feel free to play along by strumming the basic chords.
