this is in an odd tuning, so i'll give the original, plus an easier version. you can also just play it in drop D.

also, this could be tabbed pretty accurately, but IMO, this sort of thing is supposed to be spontaneous, so i'm giving the chords, and you should just mess around on top of them.

original:
tuned to drop D, then 1/2 step down
