No way, I wouldn't do that for myself...

That song is not all that difficult, It just has a fast tempo...

It generally repeats the same riffs, with the only real difficult part being the tricky downward bend during the verse...

The solo is actually one of Edwards easier pieces, just lightning fast...

The King is right.....

Not a difficult tune...by EVH standards....

I'm sure there's gotta be a tab book on E-bay if you don't wanna invest the time.....

Or...you could always find it Online....it'll be wrong....but it'll give you a starting point......you can figure it out by ear......

Pfff, weakling, I recently had to learn this song by ear, and did the majority in 30 minutes.

I've seen that place before, I stumbled across it by accident one night. It's a good find.

On the verse he is hitting the b and g strings and fretting the third fret on the 2nd (B) string and bending the 3rd string, 2nd fret up a whole step. The string bend comes back down and the higher note is then slid down a half step.
The volume knob is off initially but you turn it up after hitting the 2 strings right before the first bend.

The same thing is repeated 5 frets higher, fretting 7th fret on G string(the string you bend) and the 8th fret on the B string (which you slide down a half step after you bend the G string back down)

Hope this helps. he's only bending one string here, and it's easy to think he is bending both of them. I don't know if he is sliding the top note down a half step or if he's fretted the lower note and pulls it off.
Sounds more complicated than it is.
