I'm not putting up the solo because I don't know how to play it so just improvise like me.
I do know he plays the first part of the solo on the 12th fret of the B string and the
second part on the 15th - 17th frets on both the B and high E strings.........give it a
shot!! This song is really fun to play. I didn't actually put how many times you should
play each chord in my tab but you can figure that out. Aaron Barrett is a badass!!! Reel
Big Fish!!! only my second tab so go easy on me.
