Solo Part 2:

Important note: This requires heavy use of the whammy bar, so make sure you have one! Whammy bar notes be noted with stars (*) around the section that they appear in for example *15*--*17*. If are required to change the note while the whammy bar is still down then it will be noted this *15--17*, this means you keep the whammy bar down but change the note. you understand this :) ) Oh and a bend is b, half bend is hb. Like wise a b~ is a bend and vibrato at the top of the bend.
