I've ben practicing this on guitar.

Not an easy song to play with heavy strings and a bad case of carpel (sp:?) tunnel.

I'm also learning the rhythm line from this song:

I know probably three-quarters of the song. It's the only song where my fingers start to cramp near the end.

I get cramped up when I start with some fast pulloff/open string arpeggios........sort of like the EVH finger tapping thing except no tapping. Randy Rhoads liked to do this.

i.e. on the little E - 8 po 5 po 0 (repeat 8X) 7 po 4 po 0 (repeat, etc).

You have to fret the notes pretty cleanly.

Spreading your hand across four frets low on the board and pulling the strings real quickly starts to hurt.
