This means that, when a note from the first guitar stands right on top of a note of the

That's about it as far as licks are concerned. The structure of the song is as follows :
VERSE 1 (twice the lick transcribed above)
VERSE 2 (once the lick transcribed above; half as long as the first verse)
SOLO, accompanied by the following chords :
I have not transcribed the solo. If you can play a bit of sologuitar, you should be able to
improvise one that sounds just like it quite easily. Just keep in mind what chords the other
guitar is playing.
I have not actually transcribed the second verse, or chorus, but if you can play the riffs
above, you can play the entire song, all you have to do is a bit of puzzling it all together.
Any suggestions, additions or complaints are welcome. Have fun.
