Chorus:
My god this is freakin hard!
Theres pry some weird instrument in there
that you probably can't make sound exactly
the same on guitar, but I did my best.
Guitar 1:
This ones hard to hear, and I didn't wanna
have to lay down four guitars. So I tried
to sum it up in this one.

Guitar 2:
Gets a bit more tricky,but still keeps the same basic idea.
It sorta turns into a solo almost, but without the solo part.

pretty good to me! enjoy!
