This TAB is meant only as an add-on to the "DreamOn.crd" that can
already be found at Nevada (thank you, whoever you are). Fills 1, 4,
and 5 are based on F pentatonic minor, and Fill 3 is based on C
pentatonic minor. Fill 2 is just based on the chords that back it,
and the solo is based on the intro.
I suppose a word is in order about my notation for slides. If the note
that you slide *to* has a slash directly in front of it, the note is not
picked. If there is a space between the slash(es) and the note, then
the note *is* picked. I realize this may be confusing, but I wanted to
be precise.
Corrections, questions, comments, etc. always welcome!

WARNING! MISTAKES!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official AEROSMITH tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
