 Playing Notes 
 ------------- 
  
 Guitars 1 and 2 are electro-acoustic guitars, with echo added. 
 Guitars 3, 4, 5 and 6 are electric guitars. 
  
 Guitar 2 is very low is the mix (it disappears in verse 2) and strums 
 the chords which are used to form the arpeggios played by Guitar 1. 
  
 In Solo 1, the powerchord/riff section is split into 2 parts. This can 
 be played as a single part, but the passage sounds truncated. This is 
 because the E-note (D-string 2nd fret) is common to the chords and riff 
 - playing both parts on 1 guitar breaks the sustain of the chords. 
  
 The 'Pinched Harmonic' in the riff played by Guitar 4, is subtle. It 
 is produced by catching the string with the side of the thumb (on the 
 picking hand) whilst striking it with the plectrum. 
  
 In guitar solo 1, the powerchord backing implies the key is Gmajor. 
 Guitar 5 solos using pentatonic scales. Bars 1 to 4 uses the Eminor 
 pentatonic scale (relative minor of Gmajor), bar 5 - the Bminor 
 pentatonic, bar 6 - the Am pentatonic, bars 7 and 8 revert back to 
 the Em pentatonic scale. Positionally, bar 3 can be a bit difficult, 
 it is made easier if '5b7' is played with the second finger of the 
 fret hand. Bar 5 uses 'double-stops' (playing 2 notes on adjacent 
 strings as a diad pair). Bar 6 is a fast lick - which may take a 
 while to get the phrasing right.  
  
 In the Instrumental section, the part played by Guitar 6+ has been
