NOTE - If you're playing along to the song then play the solo the first way. There's a
small part with a lot of chord changes[its really strange]. I've listened and tried my
best to get the right chords. Listen to it yourself and you'll hear when to make the 
chord changes. If you aren't happy with how it sounds, just play number 2. You can get away
with it either way :)  Comment your suggestions/thoughts please. Thanks!
