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

Great Solo , Essentially in G minor but many other tit bits can be gleended from this masterful display.

Notice the very close relationship of melody note and chord tone thoughtout the solo.

The Progression is basically a Dominant 12 Bar in G, one or 2 little turnarounds, nothing scarey.

Try to spot where Robben uses arpeggios to outline certain changes, and notice how he plays effortlessly through the changes.
