Notes: Pay attention to the 9/8 and 6/8 time signature on the intro - it's simple from
on in. The solo may sound a bit unusual if youi don't play it fast but I have played
with it and it is 100%
I have stretched out the bars on the solo since there are so many notes.
All timings on this tab are 110% accurate
A7X - Rock On!
UPDATES:
(04/01/06) - I missed out the lead part of the core riff as Kurt pointed out in
the comments - so I've now added that.

to expand the bars.
