SOLOS:             comments by 
Matthew Holliman

King's solo is based on G# locrian 
if I remember right.

Hanneman's begin with an arpeggiated
 Am7, played up an octave each time,
beginning with A (6 stg) 5 fr.  The 
tapping bit is 12-8-5-8-5 
13-8-5-8-5, on
the 2nd string, then again on the 
1st string.  The final bit is 
10-5-7-8 on
the 1st string, then up to the 22nd 
fret, a half-step at a time.
