Tims Solo from Live at Luther College -

Almost this whole solo is tremolo picked. If you dont know how to tremolo pick fast you are in trouble. If there is not enough notes there it is because he is doing it so fast it doesnt need to be tabbed. Just tremolo it and switch the note when he does if you do not understand the tab.
