Simple Man
Guitar Solo
Great song. Enough said. I already have the intro, verse, and chorus on this site,
so here’s the solo.
Pack on the distortion (gobs of it)!!!!!!
(possibly tuned down 1/2 step, doesnt seem to matter)
h - hammer on
p - pull off
# - vibrato until next note shown
* - bend one full step
** - bend one full step and return (the note indicated to be bent will be starred
as noted, and the same number will be shown in parentheses following the stars to
indicate returned bend)
*# - bend chord/note one full step with vibrato
^ - ghost bend one full step (bend before striking note; no sound of bend)
^# - ghost bend one full step with vibrato
/ - slide up or down and tie notes
note: continue throughout the solo continuously; the break in the tab (at the
ends of the lines) do not mean to take a sudden brake; continue with the song
with the first note of the next tab line form thingy.... you’ll understand.
