***Note: Much of the remaining tab up until the repeated open D and the end was sent in by
Kyle Rogers (bkrogers717@msn.com). Thanks man. The solo hasn't
changed much, except for the position, which is how Adam actually plays it.
This part can only be played the way Adam plays it by using a guitar with a
fixed bridge setup like a Les Paul. The string is actually plucked between
the bridge and the stop tail piece. Try it, you'll be astounded.
