I think the bends are at most up one fret. I've broken it up into (I hope) recognisable riffs with breaks where Alvin holds the notes. |15bp13-11-------|--11-13-11-13/15b-11-------------|----------------| |----------13----|13-------------------13-13-13----|----------------| |----------------|---------------------------------|12b\8-----------| |----------------|---------------------------------|------10--------| |----------------|---------------------------------|----------------| |----------------|---------------------------------|----------------| slight bends/returns |------------------------------------------------------------| |------13-13-13-13-13-13-------13-13-13-13-13-13-------13-13-| |12/14-------------------12/14-------------------12/14-------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| ------13-13-------13-13-------13-13--------------------------------| 12/14-------12/14-------12/14--------14b15\12t------10-12p10-------| -------------------------------------------------------------13-10-| -------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| |---11-13/15b-13/15-11-13-11----------------------------------------| |13--------------------------13--------------13-15b-16b-15-13\11-13-| |-------------------------------12---12/14-14-----------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| The fast bit just before the verse starts (help!)
