Please excuse the mess of a solo at the end. It's me being too lazy to figure out the exact part, complete pentatonic bum-holery. Also I agreed to buy another Floyd Rose guitar earlier this week. Later that day I got the message that someone else had already picked it up, then my car died and I found I need to get some new spark plugs. Not sure if that's me missing out on a cool thing, or the guitar gods saving me some money... I have a Patreon thing you know, not sure if it even works, I never bothered to promote or check it.

Stolen from Wikipedia:
"Poison" is a song by American musician Alice Cooper. Written by Cooper, producer Desmond Child and guitarist John McCurry, the song was released as a single in July 1989 from Cooper's eighteenth album, Trash. It became one of Cooper's biggest hit singles in the United States, peaking at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. The power ballad performed even better in the UK by peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart. "Poison" remains one of Alice Cooper's best known songs. It is ranked by Billboard as the "91st top song of 1989", while Ultimate Classic Rock ranked it as the "7th best Alice Cooper song", commenting "Poison sounds like a typical '80s pop-metal number at times, but Cooper’s intensity brings it to a whole other level." The song's main riff was written by guitarist John McCurry, who two years earlier had used it for the John Waite track "Encircled".
