The riffs that I've notated aren't a 100% accurate but it's basically

all just improvisations on the minor pentatonic scale.You dont have to

stick to the exact same licks while playing this song you could just

come up with something of your own like most bands do playing this

cheap trick classic.Anyway if you have any questions suggestions please

feel free to email me at khoo33@hotmail.com.

this is a work of khoo

You can find some tabs there too exclusively tabbed by myself.
