NOTE:
Intro - It's best to play this one without a plectrum. For the left
hand use your pinky on the high E, and the third finger on the B.
Barre the 7th fret with your first finger, using your second finger
to play the arpeggio.
For the right hand I use my thumb to pick the arpeggio notes,
and my first and second fingers to play the constant double-note
part.
---
I may transcribe the solo in a few days, but don't hold your breath.
I'll also tab Flesh For Fantasy if anyone wants it.
