****Quick Side Note**** If you just want to kind of do a pretty solo rendition on a single guitar, you can pluck the base notes with your thumb, and play the guitar 2 melody this way to kind of cover both parts. (Credit to Rick Beato for all this, btw)

Lead guitar during verse 3 So there's some.. Noise here, and I'm not gonna lie. It's a bit of a struggle for me to figure it out. I've checked out live videos in hopes that I can hear what they're doing there without as much studio magic kind of blurring it in. But live they either don't do it at all, or they use a different kind of fill. But in a live rendition a slide is used, starting off on the 5th fret of the 2nd string. It slides somewhat slowly up to the 10th fret, then hte 12th and ending near the 17th before sliding back down. But that's not what's going on on the studio version unfortunately. So this is the best I can give you, apologies.
