This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This is a great new song from Zakk. Definitely one of his best. I'm not 100% sure

the solo because Zakk is a bit...um, crazy. But awesome, nonetheless, so here goes.

two guitars in the song. One, obviously, is electric. The other is an acoustic 12-string.

GUITAR SOLO (Zakk, distortion w/ wah pedal) As I said before, I'm not 100% sure here,

on the really fast part, but it sounds okay with the wah pedal.

Enjoy. Sorry about the solo if it's wrong. Other than that, I'm pretty sure the whole

is 100% accurate.
