The main riff is rock and roll itself. Perhaps one of the
most used rock rythyms going - it still sounds fresh on this
album - even in 1994 !!

Back to the main riff for the solo which I can't get to
sound right - but I know that just as the vocals come
back in the solo is playing something like:
E-----------17------------
B---------------------17--
G---16b-16b---16b-16b----- repeatedly.
D-------------------------
A-------------------------
E-------------------------
try messing around with this. It's easier to stumble across
by playing than writing it down !!
