The Devil's Been Busy ? Traveling Wilburys
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
One of my favourite songs from the Traveling Wilbury's "Vol. 3".
This is the first time I've tried to transcribe a solo. Does it make sense?
Comments are highly welcome.
Have fun!
