you don't really need the guitar 1 in the chorus
except in the final chorus. its very faint, you
can barely hear it, and noone will really notice.
and the second part starting with the C# octave
has been driving me crazy for the last week
so i'm not 100% sure if its correct, but its close
chorus guitar 2 x3
