[X0201X]

ok
beginning
(C power cord)strum fast 3 times down-up-down -listen to the song-!!

the guitar is acustic maybe 12 string but it sounds good on my electric amp without overdrive

figure it out from the song it sounds like this
just listen to the song
by this time it is 3:16^
the background guitars ( RiFF C and Riff 1b)
are still going after the solo the end is just a repeat of RIFF A1
let the last not a E cord ring out...
have fun..
