BRIDGE

There is a lot going on here but it's mostly bass and drums - you could add this guitar part if you wanted but
I think it sounds better without.

OUTRO

Here I normally just throw on some delay and mess around with some of the lead parts and it sounds sick. Not
sure about the notes they play but anything sounds pretty good really.

I've written the tab for a guitar with no effects, so the lead might sound a little off if you're playing with
the recording. If you do have some effects, mess around with the modulation (pitch dive, octave, delay) for the
lead guitar.
