Free tab at Danieljamesguitar.com for all those who dare attempt this. Holy hot shit, this was a hard one. You want to see what a man struggling to maintain his composure looks like? Hello.

I could probably write an entire essay about my experience with this song, and the cover. Let me run through some of the basic stuff:

I didn't fit in every solo-
There's about a million tiny ones throughout this song. I tried to focus on the main one, which was hard as all hell to do at the same time as the rhythm D: Wait a sec, is this entire song a solo if I play it alone? Oh well.

This was a kinda messy take-
I did a couple other ones, but I think this turned out the best- as in the least error free, heh... Um, I can't even play this song more than maybe 3 times in a row from beginning to end without my fingers feeling like they're going to turn to shreds, and my callouses are relatively thick, too. Damn. Players, beware. D;

I was going to do a slow version-
And maybe I will anyways, for fun. I actually play this live sometimes, and everytime I do, it's the slow version. It makes it much easier, much more relaxing. Best of all, it will not kill your fingers as quickly. Did I already mention my fingers? Maybe I need softer, looser strings... and to stop whining.

I've got a tab for this on the way, I'm probably going to spend the rest of tmrw making it, because there's so many notes in here. It's a doozy. I'm not sure if this was harder than "Aces High" to play, but it might have been. Randy Rhoads did some seriously brutal stuff in his time.

Maybe I'll do something a little slower next week...

Enjoy.
