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

This is a very fast Mr.Big song, it's a quite

hard composition.

I'm not very certain about the whole transcription, I

tried to do the best

possible, but I think that the solo is not well at

all, anyway, your

suggestion will be appreciated, since the solo is

really "like a hell".

Any question just emailme;)

Tune at E.

Legend:

^ = Pull-Off & Hammer-On

/ \ = slide up or down

½+- = bend & release

~~~ = vibrato

, = tremolo picking

<> = artificial harmonics

[] = unison bends

tr = trill

+ = tapping
