NOTE:
The breakdown of the 7/4 bar is weird. Count it as 3/4 and 4/4 to make the timing work. The final chord 
comes on beat 1 of the 4/4 bar.

GUITAR SOLO
6/4 TIME THROUGHOUT 
NOTE: I’ve broken the solo down into six separate sections that focus on one phrase each. 
This is the way I approached things when I was writing the solo, and, though the phrases bleed 
into each other, you should be able to learn it a bit easier by breaking it down this way. I wish I could tab 
this out more accurately, but you’ll just have to use your ears to get the exact timing down.

Section 1:
E|----------------------------------------------------12----------
B|------------------------------------11--12--14--15------15--12--
G|--12--12--11--11--------11--12--14------------------------------
D|------------------14--------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2:
E|--15p12h14p12--------14p12--------------------------------------
B|--------------15p12--------15p12h14p12--------14p12-------------
G|---------------------------------------14p12---------14h12------
D|------------------------------------------------------------14--
A|----------------------------------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------------------------

F:  3  1  2  1  3  1    2  1  3  1  2  1  3  1   3  1   3  1  3

NOTES: 
a) ‘F’ stands for finger, as in the fingers on your fretting hand.
b) I tend to bar my first finger across the high E & B strings in this section. 
c) This is a pattern that recurs in Section 5 off of the 20th fret. 
d) This passage is a reference to the Nels Cline guitar solo from the song “Either Way” off of 
Wilco’s album Sky Blue Sky (because I’m a nerd).

Section 3:
E|----------------------------------------------11---------12------11h12--14/15p14--12h14--15v--
B|----------12----------12----------14------13------12h13------13-------------------------------
G|------12----------15------12--15------14------------------------------------------------------
D|--13----------14------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 4:
E|------19------15------17------14------15------17------19------20------22------20--
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--19------16------17------14------16------17------19------20------22------20------
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If you don’t have 22 frets, playing the 22nd fret notes on the 21st fret sounds super gnarly and 
I totally encourage it.

Section 5:
E|--20p17h19p17---------19p17----------------------------------------
B|---------------20p17---------20p17h19p17---------19p17-------------
G|------------------------------------------19p17---------19p17------
D|---------------------------------------------------------------19--
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Same fingering as Section 2.

Section 6:
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------17--19------20--19--
B|------17--------------16----------------------------------------------19--------------17----------
G|----------19--17----------17--16------17--16------------------19--16------19----------------------
D|--19--------------17--------------16----------19--17--16--17--------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Sometimes I throw a slap-back delay on the last note of this solo & continue through the 
screaming chorus.
