In the verse and chorus
I did not add in Kirk’s guitar part because he plays the same thing in the
verse. BUt just a little lead in the chorus.I’m sure you can easily find it somewhere else online. Tuning is dropped 1/2 a step on both guitars.
Intro – (James, clean tone with phase shifter)

I did not add the timing in the solo. If you can play this you are real good, like me.J This is just like Kirk plays it. He uses a wah wah pedal, of course. The background guitar is the same riff as the distorted intro part.
