SOLO
====
Seriously now, check out the video of Steve Lynch actually playing this solo
or you may never understand what the tablature means.
For the 9 on the G-string start with tremolo arm push inwards, pluck, then release. For
first line keep pushing/pulling the tremolo arm to achieve the right bends...

FIRST HAMMER-ON PART
NOTE: HOLD THE BEND from the second hammer-on 12 until the last 12 as you come down
the bend. Sorry for the excessive text but I will now include which finger does what. eg: 2L
2R = middle finger left or right hand.

I'm leaving out a little bit of the solo here for now. Bear with me..
Hold the bend on the 15th fret until the bend is released
on the 22nd fret. Pull-off after releasing the bend...
