INTRO
This looks confusing, but it is easy to play,
you just need the know how the song goes.
You can also play this riff on G and D instead of D and A

SOLO
The solo is kind of hard to tab.
All the bends are full bends,  and where it says 16b 18 16r,
you have to bend 16 to sound like 18, then release it back on 16
