NOTES------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) on fill #1 it is actually a 1/2 step bend at 14, but its easier and sounds close to the real thing, even thoughthe real thing is actually a keyboard.
2.) there are some volume swells and right before rivers plays the lead on the prechoruses, theyre swells from 7 on the b string.
3.)the fill during the verse of the scond chorus is tapping at 9 and 16 on the high e string.
4.) the harmonics at the bridge im not sure about, but i know that theyre around the 2nd fret on the b and g strings. the first and third are about the same pitch, and the second and third are about the same.
5.) on the 2nd chorus play the last line of the chorus (I dont care bout that) twice, on the last chorus after the solo play it 4 times
6.) after the last fill, get some feedback on 17 of the b string. listen for it.
7.) during the last chorus, rivers starts some small leads (i think octaves) that are strummed for a long time each and alternate twice i think. they are:
1st one 2nd one
E
B 10 9
G X X
D 7 6
A
E
