EADGBE Tuning (standard)

This should be right, thanks to my guitar teacher.
A harmonizer pedal is used for the intro and solo.


The toggle-switch part of the solo is kinda sketchy,
and the end of it is probably best improvised...

Use a harmonizer pedal for most of this!

Beginning here, flip your toggle switch back and forth
while hammering on as hard as you can with your left hand
