Christmas Song
Lead Guitar Guide

Tabbed by: John525

Comments: Just play around with these riffs and you should get a nice lead part and solo. If you want to make it sound real good, use slides and bends...alot. I usually use bends when Dave raises his voice a bit and yells a bit. Just remember - this is your lead part; I'm just giving you a canvas to paint on.

Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-E

Intro Lead
This is what I use when the song is first starting up, before the singing actually starts, and
a bit into the first verse. (You will need a wedge to play this part)

Solo
This part can be used when you want to throw in a solo. Just start playing this when you
think it fits in. You will probably need to experiment a bit first, though.
