Repeat this once and the second time play the solo (variated) one full step higher

End on E

I think this is pretty good.  There are two guitars so I tried iinclude most of
their parts, but I basically did the general idea of it.  Go to www.thebriggs.org
for more info on them and www.theoddmenout.com for info on my band.
