Solo Pt.2, Section 1 (Jason) For the first part of the second part of the solo, Jason is playing a power chord progression. G|66666666----------44444444---------| D|66666666-44444444-44444444-22222222| A|44444444-44444444-22222222-22222222| E|---------22222222----------44444444| (Art) Throughout both Sections of the Pt.2 solo Jason plays this, I’ll also include the Variations played. (These are 11’s, note, so that the 11’s do not looked bunch together, I put spaces them, this doesn’t reflect the rhythm however, listen to the song for the correct rhythm.) G|11-11—119-9-98-8-86-6/11-----| D|-----------------------------| Solo Pt.2, Section 2 (Jason) now Jason stops playing the power chord progression and plays this. Listen to song for timing. e|--4--4--4--4--6--6--6--6--7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9—-9—-9--9--9--9—-9| B|22-22-22-22-44-44-44-44-55-55-55-55-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-| (Art) Here is where the variation is. Art places this three times after Jason begins his above then he kicks its back into the original version. G|11-11—11h139-9-98-8-86-6/11-----| D|--------------------------------| Solo Pt.2, Section 3 (Jason) Jason only makes on change, the little fill at the ending before kicking it into the chorus. That’s played like this. e|--9—-9—-9—-7h9p7----------| B|77-77-77--------9p7h9p7p5-| CHEERS!!!
