|------------9~~--11~~*-|  to get the sustain and sound of this part.

Chorus

Typing in the solo stuff I know won't help. But I know he uses a wah and the
toggle switch. He hits a few notes on the 9th and 11th frets on the 4th string.
The String Rakes are just to show they are there, they are not the exact amount
played, you'll have to figure that out. This is a cool song to play too.
