Just go back to the verse Gtr. 1 keeps playing the same thing but Gtr. 3 changes slightly. 


Gtr. 4 comes in when Kenny solos later in the song. He does it around the 10th and 12 fret. Gtr. 3
does some chords too. Just listen and you’ll get it. Im too tired to get the rest down. The timing
should be pretty close. If not, just ignore it.
