Well, after months of living off the labor of everyone else that has
contributed both here and at Nevada, this is my first shot at
transcribing something. I used my black on white US Strat hooked up to
a cheap Dean Markely practice amp.

That should do it. If anyone has the gumption to transcribe the solo, I
would appreciate a copy.
