Unfortuneately, I've lent my copy of the tape to someone at the moment, so I can't be sure that the picking patterns in the solo and coda are exactly right, in fact they're probably wrong, but they're pretty close anyway. The picking pattern for the verses is slightly different each time round but I've only shown what happens the first time - perfectionists should refer to the tape and work the rest out themselves. If anybody knows something about this that I'm not aware of like funny tunings, feel free to correct it. Enjoy yourselves, Paul Hutchinson.
