Ace Employs two guitars in the solo to achive some of the sounds. I've transcribed it so it can be played by one guitarist. The Rhythm parts are slightly different with one guitar playing a shuffle while the other plays just a straight power chord. This gives the song a bit of breathing room and movement. Ace's solo is comprised mainly of Unison bends (an ACE staple),bent/vibrated single string bends as well as some alternate picking on the two high strings that follow the chorus chords at the end of the song... Enjoy!
