Now, for a while the song goes back to lyrics and follows the same patterns of chords as before. The next real

Challenge is the outro solo. This solo is pretty hard

if you're not used to Slash's maniacal slurs. There are some parts played with blistering speed and aggression. You'll be able to tell what those parts are because there will be a lot of notes before you see a notated chord change. Remember your 16th note triplets. Good luck!!!

Etc. Etc. ... the rest of it is pretty easy stuff. Some of it is buried in the mix and tough to make out, while other parts are clearer. To tab it out would be confusing... but all the difficult parts from the beginning to this point are here. Pay attention to your Mixolydian and blues scales.
