VERSE 2 (guitar plays the same thing from VERSE 1)

                let ring.....

So that's it. The guitar solo has a second guitar playing a harmony in a few parts. I'll 
the second guitar out later. The solo is based on a C# natural minor scale (C# D E F# A 
C#) so if you want to figure it out on your own go right ahead.
