bend faster after the first four bends}

(2:45) Play Chorus
(3:05) Play Intro x5 Lzzy's Rhythm to be accurate
Joe is improvising in the key of G Minor over Lzzy in
the end of the song here but most of the lead is covered
by rhythm playing. His outro will change between when
he is playing it live and what was played on the album.
