This is a super easy song to play if you dont count all the improv solos he does.
He never plays the same solo for this song twice. The best I can do is give
you the soloing he uses. Depending on what version of this song you have I
tabbed out the solo. I have the live version. So thats what I used.
Key:
x -Muted String
b -Bend
r -Release
~ -Let Ring
/ -Slide Up
-Slide Down
h -Hammer On
p -Pull Off

This is the whole song but the pattern changed in each part a bit, so just listen for the change.

This is the G Minor Pentatonic scale he uses to play his Covered In Rain solos, so you
improv off of that.

He might be using this scale also but either one will work for ya!
