This lick is played with a delay so it sounds like Kevin^Òs playing more
notes than he is. I was too lazy to figure out what the delay time
should be set at. This lick is first played at 1:23:
E-10---9---7---5---5-/-7-\-5-------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------

This little riff pops up every once in a while:
E---------------------
B-4b5r4-2-------------

The strumming patterns might not be quite right, but listen to the cd and
it shouldn^Òt be too hard to pick up. Questions? Corrections? Hate
mail? Holla^Ò at me: Strict9_97@y
