During the entire above section, Gibby stays pretty quiet, playing A and E
in some type of clean picking rhythm.

@ 3:37, Gibby just plays A and E back and forth, listen in the left speaker for
the rhythm.

Gibby begins some fast trem picking at 4:09, I'll just show the notes and you'll
have to listen to the record (remember, louder in the left speaker) to hear what
he plays. Remember to rapidly pick the notes with // underneath them. One / means
the note is picked only once or twice. This goes from 4:09 to 4:26.
