*** theres a number of different 
ways you can play this by virtue of 
there being multiple guitars in the 
song.
    possible alternatives could 
include:
    playing only the D, G, and B 
strings (xx040x -> xx030x and so on)
    fretting only the A string notes
 (x2x00x -> x1x00x and so on)
    etc.
