  • Now, this is where things get a little tricky. The solo continues along with the vocals, but it's very hard to hear at times, seeing as it is:
    1) mixed to be shoved into the background of the song
    2) swimming in wah, chorus, possibly reverb, and probably a lot of other stuff, too
  • and
    3) Is played on lower strings at times, which makes it disappear into the bass and vocals.
