I ran out of room but at the end of the solo Lee plays XX7777 harmonic and
bends it with a trem bar, or by pulling on the neck.
here is where my notation gets weird.

guitar 2 plays 002200 with fig 1. and 000000 with fig 2. it sounds bad
when i play it too, but guitar 2 is way down in the mix and i promise that
is what they play.
guitar 2
with FIG 1 (repeat) repeat
A---17-17-17-16-19-|-[-19-19-19-19-17-16-17-16-]--16-16-16-16-17-16-17-16-x\-|

while guitar 2 plays 886600 then 776600.

muted.
