This is the official tab for Bat Country. This is the whole solo with all guitars

This is my second tab on this site. Make sure to check out my "Seize the Day" solo tab later.

Bend the 5th fret up a full step bend and bring it back down, and bend it up again, only
this time you bend it up a 1 1/2 step bend, and you don't pick it. Pick the 5th fret on
the B string, but bend it a 1/2 step. Then do the same thing on the G string, but you're
not picking the 5 in the ( )s. Listen to the song to hear this part.

On this part, you're just bending the 18th fret on the B string up and down, but
it's a 1 1/2 step bend. If you can't get that bend, then you can try bending it only
half step.

its very good i would rate this 4.5 stars but they dont let me do that so,ill rate this 5stars. what i do is learn all the different solo tabs and play along with them then i create a sheet of paper with the parts that sound right to me on there and the stuff i added.it works for me learning solos where theres great tabs but each has a correct part and a wrong part different from every other tab.oh yeah were u the guy to write the solo to sieze the day?
u got the dueling parts mixed up.and the rest is good i know this cuz theres a vid on youtube called Guitar Lesson Zacky V Syn G it shows them playing the song and entire solo step by step its really not a lesson they play it it slow and independantly so you know who has what part
Great TAB
