*I'm fairly certain the bell/tone sound playing during the intro
is not a guitar. But a natural harmonic on the 5th fret of the
fifth string will get the same note, so I'm going to throw this
here if you want to cheese it.*

Solo
I will add notes when relevant
*The "10b12b10" Means you would pluck the 10th fret, bend the
string up until it hits the note the 12th fret would make, and
then bend back down.
*In the studio Joel seems to have doubled the melody until he
gets to the octaves(Meaning the same guitar part was recorded
twice and played ontop of itself)and threw in a little bit of wah

*Here at this spot there is again, multiple tracks and in
studio the notes were played individually by multiple guitars and
layered ontop of each other, and not actually as octaves. To get as
close as possible to the sound I play the notes as octaves
(with again, a bit of wah) and apply a bit of vibrato when you
get to sit on the note for a second!

Main Riff, slight variation the second time through, a brief pause
to bask in the greatness of this song.

Outro diddy
*Here there is again, multiple tracks. One guitar plays the high
notes, the other plays the low notes. And one is playing the rhythm
If you want to play by yourself you can use octaves and slide instead
of bend. I'll throw that down at the bottom as extra.
