Outro:
It's a very hard solo to tab as you can't really hear it so
it's not 100% accurate but it can be used as a guide as to what parts
of the fretboard you should be at.
The rhythm is the same all the way through, but im not gonna tab it
along withe the solo
Because it wont be as accurate as the other parts
But this part plays throughout last solo into fade out
