Riff C (verse 1&2 only) This is where Mr. Knut M. Valle starts to get weird
nuances and the slight trills he uses to create tension.

That is the majority of the guitar that I can discern from this song. If
anyone can discern more through the wall of keyboards, or even tab out that
insane-ass solo, please feel free to e-mail me or the Reaper. Otherwise,
if you own the album you are probably very familiar with the structure-enjoy!
