This is pretty basic, mainly just the root notes of the chords played by the
guitars. During chorus 3 you can hear him do some fills leading into the
cadences, but I can’t pick up the exact phrases, so I just improvise as I go
along, which sounds just as good when you learn a few good fills and put
them in randomly.
