(The reason for 3 F# variations is because some variations are closer/near
the previous chord; making it easier to form. Also you may find some just
easier to form.)

Guitar Solo: (Mild Distortion and EGDA going quietly in the background)
CD min/sec placed to make it easier to learn. This solo is best learned by
learning without the bends first, and adding on as you master it. You need
a wha-pedal to make it sound authentic, but you can add some sliding and
crap to try and imitate it. I personally don't have a wha, but it's fun as
hell to play anyway. There is one note in this solo which is bent 2 steps
and it is identified by a [B] as in 20/[B]. If any of this doesn't seem
right to you e-mail me and I'll check it out. I have gone over and over this
and I would swear that it's exact.

Liam Gallagher said, "Eddie Vedder should be working at a car wash." Liam
couldn't wash a car for a gram of coke (or if his life depended on it).
