You may find it easier to play verse three further down the neck, starting on the 1st fret of the G string, though this means you'll have to spread your fingers out more for the powerchord shape making it hard to play smoothly. It is best to finish this riff and then rushing over to play the chorus riff rather than cutting this section short to switch to playing the chorus. As both guitars play the same in the chorus it is less important to be playing right away there. The solo section is too short for two solos or exchanges between the guitars, so it's best for one person to do the solo. It starts quite high with a finger slide or whammy bar up to the 18th fret on the D string. It then works within a minor scale starting on that note. As the solo progresses, you should generally work further up the scale and incorporate tapping and rapid picking. The solo should end with a long heavy vibrato or whammy bar dive bomb from either the 19th or 21st frets on either the B or E strings. This end note should sustain well into the final chorus before resuming playing the rhythm part. > > S O N G S T R U C T U R E < < [Time marks] represent reference points from original recording (http://www.extarscube.com/cube3/audio/extar_-_dark_future.mp3). Note after the solo section, the chorus is sung again but is played over the Verse 2/3 section previously played before the chorus.
