Solo: This is played on a normally tuned guitar, NO CAPO. You'll be
surprised how easy this is! The fingerings are mostly based on
simple chord shapes (E and A). When the "chorded" fingerings come
up, don't strike all strings at once; use a downstroke that allows
each string tosound on its own for an instant. This will give you
that "scratchy" sound--check out the record to hear what I
obviously can't put into words. Note the natural harmonic at the
5th fret at the end.
