E A

End with A thing 3x
A few notes:
-the A thing is simply an A chord with a hammer on to the third string,
4th fret
-where ever you see something like 12(13)(12), it symbolizes a bend up,
and
then the (12) means to bring the bend back down, but don't pick the
string.
-h stands for hammer-on, p stands for pull-off, ( ) a bend, / for a
slide up.
-I picked this out by ear so that if you have any adjustments that you
think
should be made, please let me know. It's an awesome solo to play!
