Derek's Slide Solo starts at 1:59. Get out your slide and have some fun with it!
Interlude - Organ and Guitar 1 plays E7. Go back to Riff 1 after that.
At 3:48 Gregg says,"Get off the firing line!" Go directly into Warren's solo after that.

Pre-Chorus 1x
Here is a harmony part with both guitars (I know one of them is in open E, but try both with standard first) Play around with them a little bit. It sounds nice with both played once, but in the real song the pre-chorus is played then Guitar 1, the pre-chorus again, and Guitar 2.
