Solo Section II:
Claudio Solo:
I am not going to attempt to put what he's doing into tab form. Really, you cannot.
Claudio has a bunch of effects going and he is essentially just picking muted strings
combined with some open notes, actual notes, and harmonics. If you want to get a feel
for what he's doing, watch some of the live videos linked in this tab. Just do
whatever random stuff comes to mind essentially.
