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

Solo

(The tapping in this section is two very fast taps that almost sound as though they were

only one tap, when first learning this solo I recommend only tapping once each time)

e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|t14t14--10p7---t14t14--10p7---t14t14--10p7---t14t14--10p7----|

G|-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|

(Here in this next bit, you could continue hammering on and pulling off the 10 and 12

and slide your hand in-motion to the 9 and 11, or use your tremolo to get the same sound)

e|----------------------------------------------------------17-16-14-(14)-(14)-16-17-17/19-|

D|--------------------------------------------------------------|

E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

(Tapping finger to pulls-off the note as your left hand

may be used to doing, only this is done with your right hand tapping finger.

In the following lines Randy made his sound by tapping the same fret between

consecutive hammer-ons and pull-offs)
