The bracketed notes in the above section represent what the rhythm guitar would be playing.
It is possible to play them along with the lead, but it makes it more difficult.

From this point on, he just plays the same stuff as in the first verse. Billy does solo in
the background, but it just sounds like noodling so this is your time to do some improvising.
There are lots of pinch harmonics/artificial harmonics in both of the solos. I didn’t mark them
on the tab but it is very easy to hear them from the song. You don’t have to play them all,
or even play any of them, but it will probably make the solo sound better if you do.
Enjoy this amazing tune.
P.S. It’s best played with a fuzzbox.
