1st Lead

this is done with a whammy and a lot of style, to which I have neither. So this is your
basic, beginner approach to this lead just so you have something to play. It goes over
the verse melody for one phrase.

Verse 2 is the same, as are the 2nd bridge and 2nd chorus

2nd Lead

same deal as the top except this is even more basic. I'll compinsate for the whammy
with bends and slides the best I can, but you really need a whammy and to be good at it for
these leads to work. Also, as I'm tabbing this acoustic, it will be an octive lower.
