The tab contains the main riff (during the song in minor, towards the end in major), the chorus, the bridge and the great solo. I added the solo part to the former version. Ensure in most cases that, if you come from the B-string down to the G-string 14th fret, you hit the G-string with your pinky. So you get your fingers in the right position to finger first the 12th, then the 11th fret on the G-string. !
