| There are at least three guitar parts in the studio version: distorted |
| guitar mainly on the left channel (moved to center for the intro), a |
| brighter cleaner rhythm guitar on the right channel, and slightly distorted |
| guitar through a Leslie speaker that begins after the first bridge and |
| covers up most of the distorted guitar on the left channel. |
