Riff C1: I think guitar 2 plays power chords in 8ths instead of
         single notes in 16ths.

Solo Backing 4: Not sure about this one as it's hard to hear under
                the solo.  I think there's a 2nd backing guitar
                playing something different as well.

During these last 4 bars I've notated the main whammy bar passages
but for the main part just play the notes and add random whammy
effects where appropriate (listen to the CD).
