Main Riff:
Palm mutes while holding the fingering for the E power chord. Should just
come naturally. This is basically Ted's main riff part, along with Derek St.
 Holmes rhythm part through most of the song.

At about 1:25 on the recording I reference (COME ON!!! COME ON!!!) it goes into
a B-A-B-A-B blues rhythm riff of sorts, and again later on in the song:
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|-9-9-11-9-11-12---7-7-9-7-9-10--|
|-7-7-7--7-7--7----5-5-5-5-5-5---|
 
If you're familiar with Call of the Wild (Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes, '74), it's a similar
groove here, although what I have tabbed out is roughly what I can hear in the background.
 
 
Breakdown before main riff repeats:
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|--7--\5-----5---\4----|
|--7--\5-----5---\4----|
|--9--\7-----7---\2----|
|----------------------|
 
 
Song ends on a Hendrix chord, E7(#9), followed by a few fills on the E scale.

|-7-|
|-6-|
|-7-|

I don't have the skill nor the time to tab out the more complex solos,
 but it is in E, so use the E pentatonic scale past the twelfth fret to
achieve the effect. If you have any questions, comments, or revisions, email
 me at grant.honsowetz@yahoo.com for a speedy reply.
 
 *11/28/13 edits: There's several other sites/contributors that copypasted this
directly and cut my name out(I'm looking at you, Songsterr). While it's U-G's at
the end of the day, I'd like everyone to know that this is the original right here.
 
Added the "breakdown" section, a few other minor fixes and the end chord, hope it helps.
