Rhythm : This gets a bit tricky. He scratches around a lot here so I’m just going
to add
scratches where I think it should go. Remember to use effects(just a little .. don’t
to drown out Les’ Sound) This is a second guitar. Play this through the whole
song. There is also a chord progression on the tape he used to play the
background. The chord are at the bottom.

Les’ Part: He plays this during the other part listen to song for timing.*THS IS NOT THE
THAT REPEATS!!!!* NOTE* THE “|” stands for the end of that little beat. Listen to the
and you’ll understand.
