to get the riffs of the guitar solo while doing the bridge, You need to know a
bit of the A-pentatonic scale. I just play this scale in variations while we do
the bridge sounds cool too.
here’s a tip:
A pentatonic 1 octave higher
e————————————————17—-19—
B——————————–14—-17—-19————-
G————————14—16—-18———————-
D—————-14—16————————————
A——-14—16———————————————
E-14–17—————————————————-
Chorus fade
