Nice Walker. I had just started learning this one the other day too.. I'll add my take on some of the guitar lines when I get a chance.

[Stiles12]

End of the synth solo...

G---C----D----F

Hits the F for some time and I think the build up is from the Bb working towards the D

Bb--B--C---C# x2

They never get to the D trey just uses the solo to play in the Relative major.

Little mini solo after synth...



e--s-15--------------------------------------
b-------------------15----------------------
g---------14 bend---14 release----12--

e---17 1/2b -- 1/2r---15----13-h-15
b-----------------------------------------
g-----------------------------------------
d-----------------------------------------
a-----------------------------------------
e------------------------------------------15 slide


pretty easy.. He just using the relative major of D in the pentatonic scale. (the F major pentatonic)

After the slide page comes back in with his vocals and trey hits a C on the 15th fret A string A few times to add some flavor

e--------------
b---------17-
g---------17-
d---------17-
a---------15-

then back to hammering that G as the regular song goes.
