ok...here is how iv'e figured out how to play this ultra fast song. now
keep in mind, in concert junior doesnt play this the same way twice, and
since this is a jam, except for a few parts that are recalled during the
song, many parts are improvised and repeated.this is the 'rougher' 
version from junior high. i will transcribe the 12 shades of brown 
version later(its basically the same, but without as much overdrive)

opening lick:(haulin'ass!)
---------------------------------------0-3-0---------------------
-------------------------------------3-------3-0--------------3--
---------------------------------2-4-------------2-0-2-0---0--2--
---12//------rake strings----x-------------------------2-------
-----------------------------x-----------------------------------
-12-------------------------x------------------------------------
(HARM.)
here is the main theme which is recalled many times during the song:
(w/slight variations many times)
---0-3-3-5-3-0--0--1-0-1-3-1------1-----0-0--------------------
-3------------3---------------------2/3-----3-0----------------
------------------------------------------------2-0-2-0-----0--
---------------------------------------------------------2-0---
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
play main theme then this which is recalled later several times along 
with the main theme:
---------------------------repeat 3x      ------------
/3-/3--------3-------------w/variations   ----1-1-----
/4-/4--0/2/4---42-0-2-0---then this lick --0-2-0-----
---------------------------ends with>>>>  ------------
---------------------------               ------------
---------------------------               ------------

then this is played before you go back into main theme:
3-0-------------------------------
----3-0-3-0-------------/31------back to main theme
------------2-0-2-0-----/4------
--------------------2-0-----------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
after main theme play this. hold the bends on the g stringand let them
ring out as you play the other notes on the e&b strings....
----3----3---------3----------3------------

-----3---------------
---3---3-------------
2/-------2/-0-/12-<this slide up&down the neck is very quick!!
---------------------
---------------------
---------------------
after quick slide, this is played quickly              here is a 
tough   
                                                       part.. 
3-0-3-3-5-3-0-----------------------------------------------------1-1-3--3-------------3-2-0-2-0---0-------------------------------1---1-3--3----------------------------3---3-0-------------------1---1-3---3-------------------------------------------3-0-3-----0---0-3---3---------------------------------------------------------0-3---3---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


here is the next part which is a quick climb up the neck
-/8-9-10-11-9-10-11-12-1--11-12-13-13-14-15/------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
                              [-----]these 3 notes are played
3-3-5-3-3---0----0----3--------0-3-6- over and over several
----------3---3/5--3-5--------------- times with heavy muting...
------------------------------------- make it sound like a popsicle
------------------------------------- stick is caught in some
------------------------------------- bicycle spokes...
-------------------------------------

-0-3--6/9-6/--3-3-5-3-5-3--3-5-3-------------------------------------
-------------------------5-------5-3---------------------------------
--------------------------------------5-00-3-5-5-0-3-00-5-3-00-5--00-
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
                   for this part, you just climb up the neck fret by 	 
          fret using a similar fashion as notated with heavy 		 
  muting...go up the neck, stay high for a while, then
                   go back down....
--------------3------------------------------------------------------
--------------3-----------3----4-----5-----6---7-----8---------------
/125-0---5-0---------0-2---0-3--0-4---0-5--0-6--0-7-----ETC.--------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

after you climb up and down the neck, go back to the main theme.
following that is what i call the hendrix section, use the neck(or 
bridge)pickup, and add a little overdrive for this part....

---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
-----------------------------------3---
---2-5----3-4--3-4-5-------5-3-5-3-----
-3-2-5--5-3-4--3-4-5-------------------
-3------5----------------3-------------
                        <------------->this part is repeated several 	
			       times using hammers and pulls
                                       for best results, fret the low
                                       e string with your thumb...
***bend only the notes on the g string***
---------------------------------------------------------------------------3------6-----10-----13----<this 

last one is ---------------------------
--5/```--8/```-12/```-15/```--hit 
violently------------------3/////-
------------------------------several 
times------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12/long 

slide down--------------

here is where the freestyle hendrix section is...where chords are played
alternately in rhythm....since the chords are repeated, here are just 
the 
chords...listen to the recording and put them in order, its not hard..
--10---9/10--------------------3--------------
--10---9/10----8---------------3--------------
--10---9/10----7------------5/---5/3-0-------
---9---8/9-----6------------------------------
---------------7------------------------------
---------------0------------------------------
                            the chord section ends
                            with the above lick.
next is where the strings are scratched while muting them...for obvious
reasons, this will not be transcibed...after the muting play this 
several 
times w/variations...
--------------3-----------------------after this is sheer pandemonium..
--------------3-----------------------pick slides, muted notes...etc..
-----------5/----5/3-0---------------you are encouraged to get into the
---5-3-5-3----------------5-3-5-3-----spirit and join in...just make
--------------------------------------shure your neck doesnt end up a 
-3----------------------3-------------pile of toothpicks....
after the madness, you once again climb up the neck in the noted 
fashion 
using a heavy mute...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---3----4-----5--ETC>>>---climb to>-------------20---20--20------
0-2--0-3--0-4--------------then -------------19----19--19---ETC...

then..bend g string&hold while playing the other 2 notes
-----20----------------------------------
--20-20--------------------------17------<after that repeat these 2 
notes
--19/-------------------------19/-------- several times

---------------------------------------------------------20/----
--20-17-19-17----17------------------------------------------
--------------19---------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
                   then you once again start here and mute down the neck
                   as done before
---------------------------------------------------------
20-17-19-17----17-----------------20------20-------------
------------19---------------0-19----0-19-----etc...-----
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------

with 
slight to heavy muting.....
--0-3-6---and----0-0--3--0-0-6----
-----------------0-0--3--0-0-6----
