NOW PLAY THE "IS IT YOU GOD" PART

CHORUS: (no chorus but distortion, bridge pickup)
play a rhythm to it - something funky. i've just given the chords
in most cases here, as it's hard and pointless to work out exactly
what dave plays.

"SOLO" (with chorus and delay)
this bit uses volume swells with a delay pedal (set speed to 8th notes)
if you can, turn volume down just before picking the notes you are sliding
to, pick it, and then turn volume up to get that fading in effect.
it is easier with a volume pedal. (guitar->volume->delay->chorus->amp)
fade the 9 in
| turn down volume to 0 - the delay will sustain the note
| | pick 17 when volume is down
| | | turn volume up to fade into here

SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CHORUS: (distortion, no chorus or delay, bridge pickup)
a lead part plays over the first part of this chorus, but it is very
difficult to make out. if anyone manages to work it out, mail me:
[email protected]. i will keep trying, and post it if i have
any success.
