During solo there are some improvvisations around the root notes
this is not a diffucult song, just listen to the record.

note: this is Malmsteen's version of the song, the only difference between the original
Rainbow song is that you've to get higher every note: e.g. riff A would become

G|--------------------9-10-7-|
D|---------------------------|
A|-7--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--------|
E|---------------------------|

I can't tell ya which one sounds better, I do both randomly!
have fun!
