The way I play it is in Drop D(closest to standard tuning). If you don't like that then
another tab! :P I personally think the song is actually played in drop D(after watching
videos), but who knows and who cares. Anyways, hope it's good enough. I did it all by 
in like an hour, although actually playing it took about 2 days(not constant playing of
Good Luck!

Also, it's a little easier to learn the solo in sections so I have pre-divided the solo
that it can be learned by individual sections first, then put together when you feel you
it under your fingers.
