2ND GUITAR:

The second guitar in this song is a bit weird. It's a background part, but
at the same time, it's the lead guitar part as well. 

-During the verses and 1st chorus the lead guitar improvs quietly in 16th notes 
 generally around these notes:

E|-----------10-12-15--|
B|--10-12-13-----------|
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|

-Listen to the song for examples of this.


For the 3rd chorus, the the second guitar takes a mini solo the first repeat, then
on the second repeat (when the lyrics kick in) it plays the the last two bars of the
"2nd Guitar Lead Riff" (Up above).

For beginner soloists, a foolproof scale to use for soloing in this song is:

   M  P  M  P  I  P  I  R  P  M  P  M  P
E|----------------------------------15-17-|
B|----------------------------15-17-------|
G|-------------------14-16-17-------------|
D|-------------14-17----------------------|
A|-------15-17----------------------------|
E|-15-17----------------------------------|

This scale has no wrong notes in it. 

For more advanced soloists, just do yo thang.
