They are there on the cd, however, and this is how they are done. You basically just slip in the little walk-down lick as part of your chord change. Pick the walk-down, then go on strumming. If you play with the cd a couple of times you will get the hang of it pretty quick. -------------------------------------------------- Alternate Guitar Solo (for bridge): G Em -----------------|----------------------- -----------------|----------------------- -----------------|----------------------- ---4/5-5-5-2-5---|---4/5-5-4/5-2-0------- -----------------|----------------------- -----------------|----------------------- C D ---------------------|----------------------- ---------------------|----------------------- ---------------------|----------------------- ---0-2/5\2-2\0-------|----------------------- ---------------3\2---|---0------------------- ---------------------|----------------------- ***Notes For Guitar Solo*** Once again, the guitar solos are essential, you can continue to strum the chords if you'd rather. The solos actually sound better with two guitars. These two solos (this one, and the one above in the song) are basically the same, except this one is an octave lower. The first one is how it is played on the cd.
