notation:
^   =  bend
^  =  bend and release
x   =  fret-hand muting
.   =  pick-hand muting
spm.=  slight palm muting
h   =  hammer-on
p   =  pull-off
~   =  vibrato
t   =  tap-on
/   =  slide up
\   =  slide down
ah. =  artificial harmonics
nh. =  natural harmonics
(9) =  ghost note
"   =  trem picking




This is basically it.  There's a couple fills here and there that I may have
missed, but these are the main parts.  I'm just too tired to bother tabbing out
the solo.   I can kinda play it, but to get it note for note to actually tab it
out requires me to be more awake right now.

So, anyway, e-mail and questions, comments, and corrections to kbills@vt.edu.
Enjoy!
