Guitar Solo: (2:22-3:01)

The guitar solo is quite long and caped with fuzz, feedback, reverb, and with everything 
it is hard to make out the notes, but I will be working on the solo. I included the 
part for the solo.

This is pretty much it, aside from some crazy solo stuff that I am just too tired to tab 
right now.  Awesome song to jam with your friends to, a fun song to play. This is my 
tab, so if there's any mistakes or if you have any questions, my email address is 
at the top. Enjoy!
