Guitar 2:

This guitar part comes in the last four measures from above.

Verse

Ok. Don't let this confuse you. Check out the tablature below. All of this is one guitar part, but there is another guitar part hidden within the tablature. It is playing fills. At first I didn't like the way this was tabbed, but after playing it I love it! It really tells me which part comes in where. You'll see where the other guitar part is because it says "Guitar 2" on the tablature. Listening the the fill audio below will help a great deal.

Guitar Solo

The reason I didn't cover the second verse is because Guitar 1 is mostly the same, with only a few tiny differences. Also, Guitar 2 is played pretty much the same way as a backing rhythm for the solo below.

Listen to the full solo:

Guitar 1 (Fingerpicking) and Guitar 2 (Backing):
