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

solo 1

the solo's i've tabbed aren't the masterpieces

they wrote but it's close enough to use. the 17br(17)

should be played as: note, bend up half step, then

release back without striking note again...

that sounds ok.
