Guitar 2 - They play this bit live but you can�t here it very well on the recording.

This only takes as long as the main riff played once, play it as many times as the main riff.

===== Solo =====

John Mayer plays the solo in this song; I was surprised because it�s not really his 
of music, but he is such a good guitarist and has made it hard for me to tab it out.

That's all i'm up to, i'm certain that all of the above is correct.
