Just before the solo in the middle of the song, the progression changes from the . It's a small change, but very noticable. It changes back to the right at the end of the solo. Solo: I'll start the solo from where the common lead lick starts to change. For a few seconds, two guitars will be playing. This probably isn't exactly right either, so if anyone wants to post corrections....
