Hi all!
This is one amazing song. The existing tab by Cristian "'Sócrates'" Franco
is great, but not complete. So here's the whole thing. I've been trying to
play this tune for almost as long as I've played guitar, so by now I think
I've got it all down.
The famous intro's the best part, of course, but the rest is real fun to
play as well.
INTRO:
Guitar 1 (dirty Electric, w/ sustain and echo)
Lets call this Fig.1 (play 3 times)
