Description

We're going to come in with this solo after the ensemble hits in the intro. We'll start with some longer phrases using bends.

Start by bending C on the G string up to D that we're already fretting on the B string, then release down to A on the G string, then bend this B up to a C#.

Then we'll release down to A again but hitting the B on the way down.

Then back to the bend up to D and quickly another one on E before hitting A again.

After that, we move on to another lick where you start by playing a pick-up note on A then move up and bend the B to a C#, then play the C# again and release the bend down to a B, after which you'll walk down the scale (B A F# E and open A).

Then we're gonna move up to the 16th fret on the G string play a really cool lick. Start by bending the B on the 16th fret up one whole step, and release back down to B and end on A.

Then move back up to B with a pick up note and then another bend, but half step this time, back down to B and then we go to F on the D string, hit it again, then walk down one half step to E.

After that we're going to go into a "Chuck Berry" sort of lick, coming from the E we're gonna bend the B again and go into some Chuck style bending.

To end the solo we're going to do three wailing bends, first on D, second on E, and then finally end on A all the way up on the 17th fret.
