It's an easy song to play. First of all, get your drummer to play the
drumbeat from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks." Then play the main
riff. Let the open E string ring through the whole thing:
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
-----7/9--9--9\7------------------------|
-----7/9--9--9\7------------------------|
-----5/7--7--7\5------------------------|
-0--------------------------------------|
That riff repeats almost throughout the whole song except once in a while
they break it down and play this riff. It's just a C chord to an A:
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
-10--10--10\---7-7-7-7-7----------------|
-10--10--10\---5-5-5-5-5----------------|
--8---8---8\---5-5-5-5-5----------------|
Listen to the song to get the timing right. It's not hard.
Now for the solos. On the soundtrack album version of the song and in the
DVD music video, Russell Hammond plays two solos. However, only the second
solo appears in the film, during the San Diego performance scene. Both
start off with the B string bent up a whole step at the 10th fret, so be
ready for it.
Here's the first solo:
--10----10----------------------------------10b12-10-7--------------------|
--12r10----10b12r10-8---10b11p8\-----8-10-8------------10-8-----8h10p8\---|
----------------------9----------7-9------------------------9-7-----------|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And here's the second solo:
--10-----10b12-12r10-7-------7---------------------------------------------|
--12r10----------------10b12---12r10-8-10b11---8--8h10p8h10p8h10p8h10p8h10-|
