This Applies to the following 2 Lines (Riffs):
----------------------------------------------
*The bass/root notes sometimes sound like a separate guitar when played
in stereo but not when played in mono, therefore its impossible to truly
know how they recorded it. This mono-stereo difference could be caused
from a 3D space enhancer such as Q-sound.

/////////// Alternate Versions for Middle Part/////////////////////////////

Ok, here are two versions of this middle section.
The first version attempts to split apart the 2 guitars(its possible
it might even be three guitars, or that this part is played in a
different tuning...impossible to tell). The second version ignores
the separation of gtrs, and arranges them for 1 guitar.

Version 1 -
