solo

  ****Important Notes for the solo:***

  Adam uses an Epilady, wah pedal, and delay pedal for this solo but...

  1. Since it is rare to own an epilady most the general population of guitar players
  don't have one, so this is tabbed out for playing without an Epilady. I have written
  the solo out for use with just a pick, a wah pedal, and a delay pedal.

  2.  This is tabbed for guitars with two humbucker pickups, with the pickup selector
  set to treble. I tabbed this on a Les Paul. This is as close as I can get to the
  real sound.
