|Symbols used in the tab|
|-----------------------|

^ = Legato 
    so "10^12" is a Hammer on
    and "12^10" is a  Pull off

b = bending
    so "10b12" means "bend from 10th fret to 12th fret"

r = release
    so "10b12r10" means "bend from 10th fret to 12th fret and then release the b
    and "r10" is a note made by pre-bending it without picking, then picking and

/ = slide
    so "10/12" means "play 10th fret and slide to 12th fret"
    and "/10" is a note made by sliding without making the starting note soundin

IMPORTANT: no vibrato symbols at all, because mr Govan's vibrato can be complete
           from a note to another. Listen to the solo and try to figure out how 
           by yourself :)

|Notes from the author|
|---------------------|

Okay, here's my tab for one of the greatest solo ever made (IMHO). I tried to ma
as similar as possible to Guthrie's fingering watching the youtube video, so a l
could be done in different positions... but that was not my goal :).
Anyways, even now I don't know if it's 100% correct and I would appreciate a lot
finds out some mistakes, or some solutions better well-fitted into mr Govan's pl

Time division isn't correct at all. I made the division thinking about the guita
learning approach, thinking something like "ok, where should I stop and improve 
This should make your life easier when you learn it.
