   This is what comes to mind, I know there is more to the song 
(like the 
   Outro) but I can't recall what it sounds like..here are some 
playing  
   notes... 
 
   On the main riff you can substiture the Ab chord for a 
artificial  
   Harmonic on the same Ab note, and then a subsequent bend and 
release 
   of that note.  (Or throw in your own fills, this is a great 
tune to  
   walk all over) 
 
   On the bridge it is important to hold the notes for the 
required ammount 
   of time, I can't tell you what it is using tab.  Also on the 
A modular 
   Chord, you should use your Tremelo bar to add some spice, or 
do it by 
   hand.  You will notice on the recording that the drummer and 
the Basist 
   are really going to town during the bridge...so jump in and 
join them!   
   This is a great way to work on your improvisation skills... 
 
   In the First Interlude the key to play fast, but keep your 
notes muffeled 
   and clean, it is not as hard as it may look to you.  On older 
vesions of 
   this song the hammer on pull off combination going into the A 
chord will 
   not exist, so throw those out if you want sound like them, or 
leave them 
   in if you want to make it sound better.  For the life of me I 
can't  
   remember if that is the way Jake E. Lee played it on "Speak 
of the Devil", 
   or if I added it, so again have fun with it. :D 
 
   On the 2nd Interlude, just play it note for note, that is all 
the advice 
   i can give, with practice you will get it, after all you know 
what the  
   notes are. :D 
 
   A final note would have to be my same old preach on tabbing 
solo's, I  
   won't do it, becuase it will limit you more than anything 
else, figure it 
   out yourself, or play your own over theres, you will become 
much better 
   that way, and will learn to create your own style, instead of 
mimicing  
   someone elses.  Remember the goal of all this is to have fun 
(I hope),  
   so do exactly that, Have fun. :D
