Guitar Three:
As a kick I figured I'd add the third guitar that is heard during the breakdown.

|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9|
|-----------------------------------|
|7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
|-----------------------------------|

Start off with a slight PM and gradually let it ring from soft to loud...and then repeat when it's needed. As always...listen to the song for strumming.
