This part is backed by A5 A5 D5 A5 powerchords. You play that chord
structure twice and then you go to...


b) The very fast end/break of the melody:
E -----------------------------------------------------0-------
B ---3/2---3/2-----3/2-5-3/2-----3/2---3/2-----5-3-2-3---3-2---
G -4-----2-----2-4-----------2-4-----2-----2-4---------------4-

This part is not correct. I'm not a solo guitar player, so this is
the way i play it and it sounds good if you speed up the tempo. It
seems to me that all the notes besides the 3/2's are played twice
and that means you could try some Dick Dale-style fast picking for
those notes. That is if you're good enough. (Not me)
                                                            2
And this part is backed by a high E powerchord. Not the low 2 combo.
and it's played twice.                                      0
