This is amazing, but it's written in concert pitch. =(

Who in god's name was able to transcribe this?!?! It's hard to say because it goes by so fast, but it looks 100 percent accurate. Amazing, thanks for posting this.

Oh yes, everyone knows this song is pretty hard to improvise, but some how when you CAN improvise over it, it sounds great because you're constantly changing chords. It's just awesome.
