verse:
Play through twice and palm mute all the way through until the end of the second cycle
and begin to play the last chord open til the chorus. Also I'm not too sure on the little
squeel harmonic that Linde does, but shouldn't be too hard to figure out

chorus:
Here come Lindes traditional pick rake.
Play the chords twice open, but as you finish the first cycle rake the pik along
the low E and then start from the second chord.
After playing it through twice play the intro chord til it goes back to the chorus.

Bridge/interlude:
This bit is really easy, just play it with a clean channel.
This bit is also played right at the end as Ville says "man".

Solo:
Ok, so this isn't perfect, well I'm a bit unsure, but I think it goes a little something
like this. There's a lot of bending which is hard to get across like this but I'll give
it a go. Also there is a little bit of wah going on here too.
As with the rest of the song, listen hard n try n fit it in there.
