Tabbed by: Chris Gumb

AIM: Tornado O Souls
Note: This is my first time transcribing a song but I think I managed to get all the
Rhythm parts correct. The solo on the other hand... What I did get off the solo is
probobly 90% correct, an it all "sounds right" but that last section where he just
rapes his guitar is beyond my ability to figure out. Is it just a minor 4 note per
string legato thingy that ends up with some tapping thrown in at the end? I spent a
long time figuring all this out, but I really would like to know what he's doing on
the last part of the solo, if anyone out there sees anything wrong with what I have
or can help me with the last part of the solo please drop me an email or IM me. I
want to eventually tab out this entire album!
Playing: A lot of wide vibrato parts and slight bends in the Rhythm section, listen
to the song to get a feel for these parts. You can get the whole song from the Haji's
Kitchen website! http://www.hajiskitchen.com/audio/free.mp3
