Solo (tabbed by me)
Alright, in this solo, both Billy and James play it, and the rest of the band keeps the
verse rhythm, etc. This is the part that James plays, that you can hear, Billy basically
the same thing, but i think that he might just be playing the middle/towards end of the
solo on the G string. Its the same parts that James is playing, but just on that string,
its higher up the neck. Im just guessing, but i know that this part of the solo played
by James LIVE is right, a little bit different from the album version.

Fade out. The solo doesnt sound the same as the album version, but if you download the
Ava Adore video aired on BBC-Later with Jools Holland, then this will be best, because
is how i tabbed the solo.-ryan.
