Brian's lead:

As soon as the fast parts of each verse start, Brian starts playing single notes that 
follow Ben's chords.
He goes down the D string from G(5) to F#(4) to E(2) to D(open). When he get to D 
(around "than she'd like to say") he starts playing this lead and it lasts about 30 seconds.
Pan right to hear it clearly. I didn't bother to count the rapidly repeated D notes, but 
you'll be able to tell when you're playing it.
The whole thing repeats again in the second half of the song, and if it changes at all, 
the differnces are small.
