Riff G: this part has a lead which I've tabbed above the rhythm part.
The lead part may appear a little scrunched up but listen to
the CD for the correct timing.

Riff I: this is the trumpet part arranged for guitar. I play this
using just the single notes but you could add the octave on
if you want a slightly more robust sound.

Then play Riff A again
Solo: this took about 7 hours! The mega fast runs aren't exact
(good enough to get you by though) but all the melodic parts
are correct I think. To save space I've had to omit spaces
between notes in the fast parts.
