Continue Hammering between the Eb and E on the G string (aka 8h9p8) for awhile and then go into this.

Solo Pt.2, Section 1

(Jason) For the first part of the second part of the solo, Jason is playing a power chord progression.

G|66666666----------44444444---------|
D|66666666-44444444-44444444-22222222|
A|44444444-44444444-22222222-22222222|
E|---------22222222----------44444444|

(Art)

Throughout both Sections of the Pt.2 solo Jason plays this, I’ll also include the 
Variations played.

(These are 11’s, note, so that the 11’s do not looked bunch together, I put spaces 
them, this doesn’t reflect the rhythm however, listen to the song for the correct rhythm.)

G|11-11—119-9-98-8-86-6/11-----|
D|-----------------------------|

Solo Pt.2, Section 2

(Jason) now Jason stops playing the power chord progression and plays this. Listen to 
song for timing.

e|--4--4--4--4--6--6--6--6--7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9—-9—-9--9--9--9—-9|
B|22-22-22-22-44-44-44-44-55-55-55-55-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-77-|

(Art)
Here is where the variation is. Art places this three times after Jason begins his above 
then he kicks its back into the original version.

G|11-11—11h139-9-98-8-86-6/11-----|
D|--------------------------------|

Solo Pt.2, Section 3

(Jason)

Jason only makes on change, the little fill at the ending before kicking it into the 
chorus. That’s played like this.

e|--9—-9—-9—-7h9p7----------|
B|77-77-77--------9p7h9p7p5-|
CHEERS!!!
