I transcribed this a few years ago, there's about half of the solo here.
The notes are correct, and although I carefully chose where to transcribe
them to minimise picking and add emphasis where needed, you may wish to
play them in different positions.

Personally, transcribing and learning to play other people's music doesn't
interest me anymore, nor did it ever seem to benefit me in any way, but
hopefully somebody will get something out of this.

Have fun.
