Here goes my attempt at that cooler than hell first guitar solo on Crises
I think this is a 6/8 time signature, but I'm not sure as I am not very good at
telling these things, if anybody has a better gues at the measure separations
please e-mail me.
Be sure to keep your bends and releases nice and even, this is a kick ass piece.

*do quarter tone bends just before you slide off to the next note, it adds a lot
to the sound.
That's about it. For a cool variation I do unison bends on the first two measures
of each part. Just bend-release the A on the fourteenth fret third string and, at
the same time, play the B on the second string twelveth fret.
Just have fun!
