The part marked '*' is to be played as a funky rhythm (listen to record). Then repeat Main Melody. Then start feeding back just on all the open notes using the whammy. Finally hit all open strings and do a severe whammy dive. I'm not gonna write out the rest because it would be a bit hard to do in this tab. Check out the Stevie Ray Vaughan live video because he does this section almost note-for-note. Anyway it is played over the bass vamp of... ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -7--5--5---7--5--5--7--5--5-- etc -----7---------7--------7---- At the end the Main melody re-appears again. Hope there is eneough here to keep people happy. I might if I have time write down the feedback stuff, but really its pretty pointless. Learn it off the record.
