I have FIVE! gtrs. playing here! When I listened one speaker at time,
I could block these voices represented by gtrs.4,5,6&7. All gtrs.
have different volumes and some notes are heavily on the back ground,
almost inaudible. When you play this make your own combination.
Gtr.1 w/riff H
Gtr.4 (higher notes)
Gtr.5 to the left of slash (lower notes) note below only by gtr.4
