🎸
Key: C
Have mostly written the rhythms as triplets/using 12 8, but if it makes more sense, just use the pitches and
listen to the track!
Fill 1:
This is at the end of the first chorus, starting at 1:45:

Fill 2:
During chorus 2, starts at 2:49:
(plays almost exactly on the lyrics 'never spin the truth')

E|-------------------------|
1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 + a
Solo 2:
I think this is still in 12 8 but it's much less triplety so have condensed some to 4 4
This starts at 3:00:, during the lyrics 'get knocked down'

During these next four bars, the two soloing guitars split, so this is guitar 1.
Guitar 2 plays the same but on the D string not G.

Solo 4:
This starts directly after the last solo (at 3:52:) but feels different hence the split.
