		___________________________________________________________________________

!		I didn't include the guitar solo because all the little nuances (bend here,
!		use slide here, bend-and-release here, etc. )  make it a bitch to get into
!		ASCII notation.  It's fairly simple to play if you can get the hang of
!		using a slide on and off (easier said than done! ).  I'm not sure if my
!		"b" and "r" notation is standard, so if you don't understand, feel
!		free to drop me a line and I will clarify myself.
