*When going to the F# throughout the song ad lib hammer-ons from the E to F# bass note
your power chords --- just listen to the song
The higher pitched instrument throughout the song is a mandolin ... just hang around F#
your upper register to duplicate ... on the break in between vocal lines it's generally
to F# like the bass and rhythm guitar
