~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Guitar 1 plays the second part of the Intro four times while guitar 
two plays this - it can be hard to hear as it is a quiet part with 
delay and other effects - I added the lyrics to help show what goes where

3.50 - solo 
~~~~ 
This is the start of the solo with guitar two playing the 2nd part of the 
intro riff played through twice then the chorus riff played once while the 
solo is being played on top of it. 
The solo can only be pulled off properly if you use a Digitech whammy pedal 
and a good distortion pedal - preferably a z-vex fuzz factory - 
 
^ means bend + change pitch with pedal 
~ means vibrato 
" means trem pick
