La Bamba by Ritchie Valens
Tabbed by Charlie Lin
Since no one tabbed this solo, I decided to tackle it myself. I am absolutely positive that the notes and rhythm are correct. I tabbed two versions of this solo. I believe the first version is easier to play Palm mute the whole song, as to avoid excessive ringing of open strings. The tempo is 4/4 at around 120 bpm. So those of you who use Sony Soundforge, I recommend using time stretch for this section. Good luck and enjoy.
