BREAK AFTER 2nd CHORUS:
Played over intro riff, then over the following chord sequence
which I have called the Rhythm for Solo's.
Note that while the repeating pattern is playing only use an
F# power chord, do not play it as a major or minor chord.
The repeating pattern can be varied during the Bm section
11th. I've written it bar by bar to show the syncopation.
