  • LAST 2 CHORDS: The last two chords of the song are 'A' to 'G'. The effect at the end is
    achieved by using a Les Paul style guitar and turning the top volume, for the neck
    pickup, off and then whilst holding the G flicking the toggle switch quickly. It helps
  • if you stand next to a loud amp aswell, because then you get the feedback starting to
    creep in!!!
