I ran out of room but at the end of the solo Lee plays XX7777 harmonic and
bends it with a trem bar, or by pulling on the neck.
here is where my notation gets weird.

guitar 2 plays 002200 with fig 1. and 000000 with fig 2. it sounds bad
when i play it too, but guitar 2 is way down in the mix and i promise that
is what they play.
guitar 2

muted.
