Playing tips:

When playing the bridges, just finger the indicated bar chords 
and pick up and down the highest four strings. Don't mute the notes. 

When playing 2 note chords that are two strings apart, pick downward on the lower
string with the pick and pluck upward on the upper string with the middle
finger. Try to get the same volume on both strings.

On solo 2, use the middle finger on the D string and the ring finger on the
B string. When switching to the G and E strings, place the 1st finger
across the G, B, and E strings at the 9th fret for that chord. Next chord
use middle and ring fingers, then use 1st and little fingers for next.
At the end of solo 2, just play the middle notes of a high E bar chord.
