Solo Pt.2, Section 1
(Jason) For the first part of the second part of the solo, Jason is playing a power chord progression.
G|66666666----------44444444---------|
D|66666666-44444444-44444444-22222222|

(Art)
Throughout both Sections of the Pt.2 solo Jason plays this, I�ll also include the
Variations played.
(These are 11�s, note, so that the 11�s do not looked bunch together, I put spaces
them, this doesn�t reflect the rhythm however, listen to the song for the correct rhythm.)
G|11-11�119-9-98-8-86-6/11-----|
D|-----------------------------|
Solo Pt.2, Section 2
(Jason) now Jason stops playing the power chord progression and plays this. Listen to
song for timing.
e|--4--4--4--4--6--6--6--6--7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9�-9�-9--9--9--9�-9|

(Art)
Here is where the variation is. Art places this three times after Jason begins his above
then he kicks its back into the original version.
G|11-11�11h139-9-98-8-86-6/11-----|
D|--------------------------------|
Solo Pt.2, Section 3
(Jason)
Jason only makes on change, the little fill at the ending before kicking it into the
chorus. That�s played like this.
