   Well this is "Neighbor" as I think that sounds, in
fact I'm a 99% sure
about the song, just the solo can be no that good.
Anyway, I suggest LISTEN
to the record since I don't transcribed the song in a
lineal way. There are
too many phrases that repeats and I don't gonna write
it a lot of times, so
the structural part can be a little bit confuse.
   Anyway, any comment, suggestion, critisism, kick or
pukes and spit, can
you write to my e-mail.
   Please if there are any mistake, emailme to correct
it.

  Play it clean
 The Gtr.2 here plays some stuff with an effect,
whammy or something else
 I don't really know, I reserve this part and just
transcribed the rhythm.

...Well, now the Gtr.1 (clean) plays strumming, I
reserve that part too, but
play with the G and C7 chords, so you can listen to
the record.
...And the Gtr.2 plays this notes between the
strumming.
