        p = pull off
        #7 = open string harmonic at the 7th fret
        (-----) = keep string bent
        @ = point to insert alternate lick

NOTES:

        Well, that's all I have written down!  I originally transcribed this
song back when the tape first came out (1987), and I haven't looked at this
transcription since.  This could certainly be better, but I haven't the time
to check all my work.  One thing to note: the solo as transcribed by Guitar
World is more correct.  In other words, I think I got the notes all right, 
but they got the notes and the right strings!  
        I hope this helps, and if you need any assistance parsing the tab 
just e-mail me.  Also, the spacing I've used is in no way related to the 
actual timing of the song.  Enjoy!
