At the end of the 4th time:
                          �Ah�

On the 7th time, the lyrics come in:
�My mother was a witch,
She was burned alive,
Thankless little bitch,
For the tears I cried,
Take her down now,
Don�t want to see her face,
Blistered & Burnt,
Can�t hide my disgrace.�

Help set you freeee.�

I�ve written two ways to play this part of the solo.

The 1st one is the right way to play it but it is also the hardest. For right-handed 
(vise-versa for leftys!), this is the technique you should use unless you have freakishly 
hands or long fingers:
You must use your left hand to finger-tap the 5th & 8th frets for the 1st line (same 
for 9th & 6th & then 10th & 7th frets in the next few lines).
Then use your right hand to finger-tap the 12th fret (same goes for 13th & 14th in the 
few lines).
This may cause you to drop your pick so it�s recommended that you use any finger asides 
your index & your thumb & your baby finger (unless you have a freakishly strong baby finger).
