-Tuning: Standard
-Bar lines are used to separate sections of music. They don't indicate
actual timing. The song is in 4/4 time.
-The song is in F# minor. Guitar solo parts are primarily in F# pentatonic
minor (some parts in F# minor).
-The tab of the guitar solo is a fairly loose rendering of the solo. Be
particularly wary of the fourth staff (measures 12-16 of the solo). "unin"
written on that staff means 'unintelligible', (meaning that I can't hear
exactly what the guitar is playing on that part).
-Play all chords as 5th chords.
Intro:
(Figure 1 and Figure 2 are played together.)
