A note to whoever decides to play this:
   This song is probably more keyboard than guitar.  Honestly I think
   the intro riff and solos might be the only guitar on the whole track.
   There is a lot of overdubbing that I know I missed, it’s just too hard
   to hear.
   I also believe that the solo may be the only place you would need a
   7-string.  So if you only have a 6-string tune each string down 5 half
   steps to B, E, A, D, F#, b.  If you do this you’re going to have to
   increase the higher octave by a half step on some of the parts.
