    Yeah it's the syncopated aspect of the solo riff that makes it tough IMO. I'm still working on the timing clearly. It is a great workout for B though :-) and, with the full band, works well as a Bluegrass type tune.

    Thanks for the positive feedback. If anyone wants, I'd be happy to write out the tabs. Might take a bit though :-)

    Here's the tab for the riff Garf. It was actually easier than I thought to write out because I've been playing it so much. The timing is the hardest part. By the way, if you don't like shifting, you can do the whole riff around the 9th fret area - instead of starting with the B on the 2nd fret of the A string, start on the B on the 9th fret of the D string. I like the shift though

    Also, here's a newer video of me and a couple friends playing this tune.
