Guitar 2 (Dirty/distorted electric) plays the verse twice.
I’ll update this tab for the rest of the song soon, cuz i’m not a good
lead guitar player, and this song has too many licks going in the background.
Also, there’s a solo somewhere, so I’ll need more time. But you can survive
with these parts for now!
