Ok Guys, here the intro and one of the first licks of "Made in Japan", I have my guitar tuned standard, but I think it might be easier if you tune down. Key of F.

-8-8-8\5--5-5-5\3--3-3-3--1--3b(5)-1-3b(5)r3---------

-8-8-8\5--5-5-5-3-5-5/8-5-8----1---1b(3)r1-*--------------
---------------------------------3---3------------------------
----------------------------------------------------3b(5)r3---
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why, but on the bend marked by the * it is difficult for me to do. My guitar has pretty high action and I use thicker stings. Sometimes I just play the first fret, slide up to the third and then return.

Then here's that Japanese sounding lick

-3-3-1-3-3-1-3-3-5-3-1------------------------------------
---------------------------3---------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

I'll be tabbing out some more here shortly (granted I can play them, Don was INSANE)
