Ok, here is the first of the many solos. Marty plays the lead (top), while Dave plays the
rhythm (bottom)-A little note about how Marty plays the first part of this solo- He bends the
string up to an e note (17th fret on the b string), then he hammers onto the 16th fret while
still holding the e note. Then, gradually release the bend while still fretting the 16th fret.
After the first four measures, Marty ends the solo and plays a harmony
consisting of all octaves. Then, he goes back into another solo, plays the harmony
part again, and then they both go into a fast harmony fill.

info on how to do this, email me, and I'll be glad to help you. Play the same rhythm
part as before.
