★4.1(3)

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

Note:

This is an offical tab by John5 himself.

Good luck finding it on the web. the song came out on the CD for the magazin

"Total Guitar". But if you do have it... then good luck playing it becase this is

fucking hard... I can't even play half of it... so good luck...!!!!

and also remeber that it is played on an acoustic guitar which makes it 5 times

harder...!!!!!!!!!

And good luck on the solo, You WON'T be able to play it!

John5 4-ever!!

That is it... John5 maybe tab it but writing it down takes time to... :-O zz z z Z Z

I guess that I not the only one having problems playing it... it is so hard!

By the words of John himself: "Much of this piece requlres good alternate-picking

skills except where hybrid picking is required"
