Along the way, a lot of little blues leads get thrown in. I don't know all of them, and I'm not going to try to show where every one of them fits in. What I do know is that they are usually part of an F blues scale (I think the song is in the key of A and this is one of the related scales that you can use to construct leads). Here are a few examples of the leads: Example #1 Example #2 Example #3 E-|------------7b8.5rb7----7---|--12b14vvvvrb12-|----------------0--| B-|-----7--10-----------10--10-|----------------|-7-7-5---3-3-2--0--| G-|-6-9------------------------|----------------|-7-7-6---4-4-2--1--| D-|----------------------------|----------------|-------------------| A-|----------------------------|----------------|-------------------| E-|----------------------------|----------------|-------------------| Example #4 E-|-----14----14----17b19vvvvrb------------| B-|-s14----14----14------------------------| G-|----------------------------------------| D-|---------------------------------11sss7-| A-|----------------------------------------| E-|----------------------------------------| That should give you some idea of what I mean. They seem to all be parts of the F blues scale all over the neck. I'm not going to try to tab all of them or I would go nuts, miss a bunch, and make this tab much, much longer... And it's starting to get pretty long as is.
