*NOTE* This guitar changes what it plays a bit during the final bars of the
verse. It sounds mostly like the same 2 notes, but in a little bit of a
random pattern (oxymoron?).

After a while of this happening, another overdubbed guitar with "bubbly"
phaser type effects enters, playing basically the same thing.
