"Northern Lights" by TNT
Artist : TNT
Song   : Northern Lights
Album  : Tell No Tales
Tuning : A half a step lower
I really like the verse of this song.  Just Tony's vocals,
percussions, and some keyboards.  I couldn't copy one part of the
guitar solo.  It sounds like going down the harmonic minor scale
with palm-muting, but I'm not sure.

                  could be just '\' as in bh/ \ / for bending, releasing to
                  the original pitch, then bending again
