Oh my god. When and where was this? I live in New York... and I check the internet all the time for any sort of Jim solo show... but I missed this! Ah, Jim is my hero. What a travesty.
i don't know if he it plays like this at all, but i always play the a and switch it like this: ...kidsmoke e-------------- b--2-----2----- g--2--2-------- d--2--2--2---- a-------------- d--------------
IATTBYH: A (hammer on B-string), Em, D (take off high E-string) also, solo spiders is pretty easy, there's a cool riff and then it's just D and some variation of D that i do not know the name of, but you can search for the tab in the archives.
