This song is highly improvisational, which in this case means that Jack uses a basic
of riffs and progressions that he picks at, playing only some of the notes a given
time around. Tabbing each would be pointless (since even he doesn t play it the same
way twice), so what I ve done is to tab each recurring in its entirety and leave the
variation up to you.
INTRO: Parenthesis are not ghost notes, but notes only sometimes included in the progression
