Rhythm guitars for solo/outro... This is a bit complicated to hear, the first bar is what Mikael plays LIVE and maybe on the CD... but it just doesn?t sound that great on the latter, so I like to play the second bar instead, if you play it as a power chord it also works. These sections are played until the song fades out,the exception being that when live, both Mikael and Fredrik play their parts from the outro and no rhythm guitar remains.
