Standard tuning

Comments: Not much to it. Once again the bass stays with the guitars.
when it doesn't play riffs it keeps the eight-notes pumping on the 
root. Predictable, yes. Boring, perhaps. Appropriate, I think so.
Although I would rather see Gene rip it up and kick some ass on a lot
of these tracks, this does work and as such it is fine. 

Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t    = tap with righthand finger
h    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum
