Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, [email protected]
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Much like on Spit Ive decided to not notate a part here. During
these parts the guitars are just playing a B5 chord in different syncopations.
So, where it says "See comments" play B5 until it feels good. And, all Gs
Played on the 6th string have a slight bend to them. I like this solo, some
cool b5s, some fast pentatonic riffing, a quote from the classical somposer Grieg, and a few trills to finish things off. Not your standard Bruce Kulick
solo.

One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
