Comments: 8:00 minute song, lots of fun.

Amp/Effects: Set up a little reverb and delay, a little feed back, make sure your power cords sound big and powerful like his do. He plays a Les Paul, so you’re looking for a big thick sound. 

Key: 
/ - slide up to note
> - let cord or note ring out
^ - bend fretted note, number inside ( ) is the sound of bended note.
