* The second time you play G+G play it over d, g and b strings as harmonic over 12th fret. Live Peter hits guitar's body with his right hand so that the strings vibrate and guitar resonates more.
Fill 1: "...she just wants to be."

Solo 1:
Use overdrive and lots of delay (more feedback is better). Let ring.
