  238. I didn't include the guitar solo because all the little nuances (bend here,
  239. use slide here, bend-and-release here, etc.)  make it a bitch to get into
  240. ASCII notation.  It's fairly simple to play if you can get the hang of
  241. using a slide on and off (easier said than done!).  I'm not sure if my 
  242. "b" and "r" notation is standard, so if you don't understand, feel
  243. free to drop me a line and I will clarify myself.
