Hopefully that isn't confusing... Then play part 2 again... Then go back and forth between part 3 and 4 like I said right above. SOLO: Heavy verse part 2 is being played behind the solo Eb|-volume swell--|--------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|----7----------|-10-9/10-9/10-9-7-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-10-9/10-9/10-12-12-10-14--| Db|----x----------|--X-X--X-X--X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X--X-X-X--X-X---X--X--X--X--| Ab|----5----------|--8-7/-8-7/-8-7-5-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--8-7/8--7/8--10-10--8-12--| Db|---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| Whenever I play this solo for the next part I either just sustain the last octave from the above riff or I just improvise playing something near the 20th fret on the first 2 strings. If you improvise just end on a full step bend on the 20th fret on the high E string. The last part is just all the heavy riffs...you figure out the order...it's not hard.
