NOTE: this tab was done by my brother, who has no net.account. I tried to
edit some of the instructions to be clearer and everything, but I may not
have succeded in all cases :) :) Apologies if you don't understand parts of
it. Questions, comments, or requests for more to irsman@iastate.edu and I'll
forward them to him. - Ian

Sorry, no solo yet, but soon.
Everything should be fairly obvious. When I have more time I'll tab
some more stuff- the complete Bastille Day with some of the solo, the
Natural Science solo, Entre Nous, complete The Trees, Closer To The
Heart, Freewill, Show Don't Tell, Working Man, 2112, maybe more too :)
