Song: Bad Horsie Solo
Artist: Steve Vai
Album: Alien Love Secrets
Well, here it is...The big, Bad Horsie Solo. I've seen a lot of
requests for this song and I decided that I might as well tab it,
since summer's here and there's really nothing else to do. So,
good luck with this solo...You're gonna need it.
