Start with Fill 1 then Fill 2 then Fill 3

At 2:33 play Outro half way through 8th bar
Some details have been left out i.e. the 3rd guitar in the solo
there is also a choice in the rhythm guitar part to play during the verse.
The first is more interestin to play, the second is what is played on the CD i think and sounds better.
