The beginning of Triad actually starts before the end of Reflection, but it's all the
same in the beginning...I'm going to start this first time when the intro repeats at 0:01.
(I've also included measure bars to make it a bit easier...)

The guitar solo at 1:34 starts on the 15th time. The solo end at 2:54 starts on the 27th time.
So just basically play the above line until...
