Man, I love that song. :goodjob:

I tried learning how to play about a year ago, but I got bored and gave up after afew weeks.

Actually, I might give it another go soon.
 
Best riff of all time, chorus of Dire Straits Sultans of swing!!!
Pretty hard to get the twist though....

P = pull of
h = hammer
b = bend
() = exit on this note

Slight deviation from the way I learned Paranoid, but then that version was by Megadeth.
