the first part is twice as long, so you are at the same point on
both guitars as of now. (that's why one is x2 and the other x4)
GUITAR 1: play the quick thing only the first time.
GUITAR 2: the hammer-down on f# string is for going from 8 to 9
each time
verse continues... i guess.

same as above, you are at the same point on both guitars as of now.
GUITAR 1: play those two chords 8 times with different tempos.
listen to the song.
GUITAR 2: the power chords are during the "freedom ware your scars
of desire" part.
"Yeah... Yeah... Yeah..." (aka, 1 minute 25)

both parts are at the same point.
right here, both guitars play in both speakers until the last section,
which starts when George screams after the mumbling. Then they split up again.
Guitar 1 (right) first let power chord from last section ring
