This tab took me god*** *FOREVER* (12hrs+) to make because of that pesky solo.
This is my first complete tab of a song, so let me know if I goofed
anywhere. I hope you like it, cuz it took forever and this song rox!
I'd like to thank TheJoker for his help on the main solo!
It's a bitch to learn but sounds cool with the right distortion.

This little lick doesn't sound hard, but it really is. On the first starred
piece, bend the 7 to 8, release the bend and quickly slide to 8.
The second starred piece, hammer 5 to 7, bend the 7 to 8, tap the
8 on the b string with your pinky while holding the bend, release the bend,
then bend it upwards to 8 again. This is all in one fluid motion.
GOOD LUCK! It took me a good 20 minutes to get it all right and
get my fingers moving in the right directions :)
