Listen to the song closely to see where the notes are being played,I think it
starts as soon as guitar 1 plays the first c#5 chord in the chorus.

Interlude:
Guitar 3 -
I'm not to sure on this bit. I think I got it 100% but it was hard to hear over
the other guitar and the speaking.

You have to listen very carefully on this bit for the timings. I also don't have a
guitar of which the whammy bar can go back (as of yet) so some of it is guessing
but if you're like me and your whammy bar can't go back then just slide to it or
use hammer ons and pull offs.

Listen to the song closely to see where the notes are being played.
Guitar 5 (outro/chorus solo) -
This starts a bit later on in the outro chorus so again you have to listen to the song
What I do because it is so quiet is just interpratate (if there is such a word) if you
what i mean so i've tried to work it out but is has bit of me as well in there. He's
the f pentonic scale.Ihave started it a 2:40 cause that's where i can just about hear
guitar, there maybe some before that but i can't here it.
