Transcription by Richard J. Soto
I love Alex's chorusy sound in the chorus of the song.
I call it the "Cutesy" sound. It just sounds cute to me :)
Solo- 1/2 sec after H struck, mute all strings with fret hand except low E.
Strike the low E and dive bar real low and shake 6 times then resume normalcy.
For the Artificial Harmonics on the 12th & 14th frets, thumb/pick the first
set of notes at the 12th & 14th frets, to the left of the middle pickup
(on a strat, looking down). all other AHs thereafter, thumb/pick to the right
of the middle pickup.
After the solo, when the song goes full force with the keys and Neil in full
effect, I think there's a progression buried in the mix.
C#, F#, E, A, B; C#, F#, D.
