The structure of the tune is:
Head1
Ending1Head1

Ending2Head1
Head2

Ending1Head2
SoloSection (last time exit at the Ab#11...)
ThatBeautifulTheme2 (...and take this to finish solo)

In terms of notation I've written the chordal phrases in TAB;
the top line being the high E string in a standard tuning scheme.
The solo section is given in terms of harmonies. I'd like to
share ideas with others about voicings in the solo section.
Enjoy!... and send me your Holdsworth charts,
snippets, comments, etc.
