I no ther is another guitar in ther possibly another a 3rd as well but again i dont ave
clue what is is! After the chorus you go back 2 playing the intro but with all three
and then the verse and then the chorus.
Solo 1
This is a pretty kwl but easy solo with lots of large bends, I usually put in quite alot
vibrato.

This bit is probably my favourite part of the song n its really simple to play as long
u can pick with both sides of the pick!
