keep notes bent to pitch of fifteenth
until playing open notes.
The whole solo section is based on making a
almighty noise with open strings (no chords).
Use feedback, waggling the toggle switch, quickly
turning the volume knob on the guitar up and down
and scratching the strings with your pick or a
slide or anything, right from the bridge up to
the nut. Make it up as you go along and have fun.
