      Guitar Settings
Guitar 1 - Plays the riffs I have noted down how I have put it. Its set to 
           a high overdrive sound.
Guitar 2 - Some people believe there is one guitar in the song. But I pretty
           Sure there’s two because during the Verse there are muted strings
           all over the joint & near the end the chorus & the solo are played
           at the same time. It’s set to high overdrive aswell.
