 What can I say.....As usual Tom Scholz lays down multiple
 guitar tracks and layers his riffs dripping with harmony.
 
 Of course, it helps if you have all the SR&D equipment
 to give you that Boston sound. ;)
 
 (My comments)
 (1:24) Shows the time line in the song where tab matches.
 
 b = bent full note -the number in parenthesis is what you
 should bend up to
 p = pull off
 h = hammer on
 V = downward picking (listed above the fret board)
 ^ = upward picking (listed above the fret board)
 ~ = hand vibrato (shake that string :-)
 < = volume pan/swell (he is using a volume pedal)
 () = artificial harmonic
 
 ^V^V^ = tremolo (use your whammy) :P
 
 >Oooooh Ahhhh< = lyrics
 
 Intro
 >Oooooh....<
 
 Lead Guitar
 (intro chord here - every so slightly palm muted barre chord)
 (gives you that thumpy/chunky sound)
