the first solo is played with a slide and wah, with that said. Awesome tab!!
The most trusted STP tabber here! Excellent yet again. Cheers jjhand
I guess you're right stryder, you could have given it 5* for being mostly accurate though. I never saw footage to know if Dean used a slide there in the song. I'll work on fixing the first solo eventually.
