It took me a while to realise that it actually was Open G though (the natural harmonics finally tipped me off) so earlier tabs of this have been hard to play to say the least. Now, everything is pleasantly easy to play, not least the chorus. As for the solo, well, it's Ace in melt-down mode. It's many of his stock phrases and the end is basically one motif run through a number of rhythmic variations. It's almost impossible to discern individual notes here and the bar of 2/4 at the end of the solo is kind of an "easy way out" cause I can't figure out where I might have counted wrong. It's also important to note that the solo is in standard tuning. Ace's mannerisms doesn't translate well to Open G and when he "solos" in that tuning he usually does melodic/chordal patterns rather than improvise (which it sounds as if he did here).ÿÄAce probably played this part himself; it has his "I'll just follow my own riff" style to it. The chorus is also reminiscent of Ace's bass work in that it sits back and allows the guitar riff to dominate, something Gene has never been too good at. For some reason there doesn't seem to be any bass for the verse after the guitar solo. At first I thought it was just low in the mix but it's so obvious when it does re-enter for the outro chorus.
