This solo is a great place for a beginning lead guitarist to start putting together the scale and run with the addition of these lead guitar techniques. To help make learning easier, this solo has been divided into guitar licks. Symbols used are: f=full string bend (bend one whole step) s-slide * p=pull-off * h=hammer-on * v=vibrato rel=release note to its original pitch.
