|guitar solo|
the beginning and a good chunk of it is just figure 1 played palm
muted. for better effect, mess around in the Am pentatonic scale,
with position at the 5th fret (7th without the capo). the solo
sounds good regardless of exactly what you play as long as you 
stay in the Am pentatonic. i'm pretty sure that this riff is 
reoccurring throughout, though

***

acoustic guitar shadows most of the electric work here,
except in the solo. note that figure 1 isn't the EXACT
guitar used during the verses or chorus, but it's nearly
the exact same. use the same chords and progressions and
it'll sound right. the solo is fun and it's a perfect time
to pull out your own chops and improv. to get the solo the
same as from the cd, just stay on the 5th fret and follow the 
same general progression. have fun
