The first instrumental break is impossible to catch fully on one guitar, so I've left that one blank. What I
always do is simply play the intro again by means of an interlude.
The electronic transition between the verses and the chorus is tough to perform with only one guitar, since
both the individual synth notes and the chords need to be played. 2 Instruments or very clever hands
recommended.
Opening synth notes: C G E(high) F# A E(low) B G# E(low) C#
