chorus: same as verse riff, but now you strum the chords more. Play 4 times.
verse: 4 times.
chorus: 4 times.
Solo: there seem to be 2 guitars in the beginning and towards the end,
but I'll just tab out one. The second guitar just plays these notes in a
higher octave I think. Rhythm guitar continues with verse riff as background.
