There's a lot of cool bends and a TON of stretching involved I suppose the last thing is the chorus and that descending Eb thing-- there's a harmony that's something like this on the last time-- RIGHT! |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |--11----11-----11----11------------------8\-----------------| |-----12----11-----10----9--9-10-11-------8\-----------------| |-----------------------------------------6\-----------------| |------------------------------------------------------------|
