Title: Freebird Solo 3
Transcribed by: Aaron
Email: epyon_2333@yahoo.com

This is one hell of a long solo,if you think it's going to be too much
to learn then I suggest you pick up a few licks from the tab and play them
in any order you like. Most people wouldn't even notice.
If you really want to play it like the record, then it's all here for you.
Also, I didn't try too hard on the timing of it, but it is simple to get right.

	Notes:
	This piece is a classic.  Have fun with the riffs, play variations of each 
	riff.  The solo riff is especially fun to mess around with.  The two best 
	scales for that riff are G minor and G dorian.
