One more time 6-6-5-6-8 then hit the 9th fret twice--11-9-11-13-14-14 and then bend the 16th fret up a whole step. As best as I can, I'll play this in sequence with the time signature, okay? Go ahead and click on our next segment we're going to take a look at number 23 on our top 80 most downloaded internet guitar tabs. I'll see you there."
