Title: Highway Star solo Tab
Tabbed by JULIO SERRANO <juliuserrano@hotmail.com,
jserrano.estud.colmex.mx>
with some parts from D. Whitehill (transcription)
and Daniel Tonya (tab) <DTONYA@hamp.hampshire.edu>

Well, here its my version of this great solo the way I play it.
Okay, I know that Dave Whitehill/Daniel Tonya's transcription/tab is the
best around the net, but I thought that my own version could be a bit
easier to play than the former. In fact, I took some parts from them
(I'll indicate which parts) but added the 2nd guitar that makes the
great harmony at the end of the solo. Enjoy!!
