   If you have any comments or corrections, please feel free to e-mail me!

   All of this is for first guitar

  
[Riff A]

   I think this entire riff may be palm muted, although I could be wrong

   Here's more of Riff A

   A:------------------------------------------------------:
   E:------------------------------------------------------:

   
[Riff B] (kind of an intro solo)

   This part has tremlo picking
   (----------------------)

   G:-------------------------------------------------------:
   D:-------------------------------------------------------:
   A:-1---1/3--4\--------3--4\-----1--3--4--4/6--4--3--4----:
   E:--------------2---2/-------4---------------------------:


[Riff C] (the main part)

   Alot of quick palm muting here 
   mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm
   E:-------------------------------------------------------------------:
   B:-------------------------------------------------------------------:
   G:-------------------------------------------------------------------:
   D:-----------------------------------6-6666666666666-----------------:
   A:--8--8888888888888\4-4444444444444/4-4444444444444-6-6666666666666/:
   E:--6--6666666666666\2-2222222222222/----------------4-4444444444444/:


[Riff D]

   This isn't anywhere close to the exact rhytm, but you can probably
   figure the right one out by listening to it.
   E:-------------------------------------------------------:
   B:-------------------------------------------------------:
   G:-------------------------------------------------------:
   D:-------------10-10--10-10-10--------------13--13-13--13:

   E:-6-6-6666-6-6-----------------9--9---9--9--------------:


[Riff E] (the real solo)

   (Swith on overdrive distortion here
   E:---------------------------------------------16--------------------:
   B:----------------------/9--/11--/14--/16--/18----16^(18)-16--14--16-:
   G:-------------------------------------------------------------------:
   D:-------------------------------------------------------------------:
   A:-1--1/33--3/44-4/66-8----------------------------------------------:
   E:-------------------------------------------------------------------:

   E:-------------------------------------------------------:
   B:-18-/18--/18-18-18-16-14----14h16-14-------------------:
   G:-------------------------13----------/13-13-11---------:
   D:-------------------------------------------------------:
   A:-------------------------------------------------------:
   E:-------------------------------------------------------:

   Here's the funky part of the solo it reminds me of that song that goes:
   Do your ears hang low do they wobble too and fro, can you tie them in a
   knot, can you tie them in a bow.
   Well, it kinda does

   E:------------------------------------------------------------------------:
   B:---------14-14-14----------------------14-16-18-18-18-16 14 16 18 16 16-:
   G:-13--15--------------12-13-15-13-12-13----------------------------------:
   D:------------------15----------------------------------------------------:
   A:------------------------------------------------------------------------:
   E:------------------------------------------------------------------------:


[Riff F] (not very hard)

   Too many notes to tab out, so just stop playing when noodles does
   E:-----------------------------------------------------------:
   B:--11----11----11----11----11----11----11----11----11---11\-:
   G:-----13----13----13----13----13----13----13----13---13-----:

|-------8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8h8--....and so on--
