Outro: Most of this is quite hard to hear due to the feedback and I
think its played on a keyboard as well. I think it's best
played with a clean guitar tone. The feedback pitches are,
for the most part A with occasional rises to A# and, towards
the end, C.

Outro
I think the song structure is correct, but haven't got the CD
at hand to check the number of times Riff A is played. Pretty
sure it's 4 for both times though.
Any comments, corrections or suggestions are welcome.
