REGGAE SECTION
 
Before the reggae bit kicks in, play the below chord sequence twice, using loose
Then kick in with a reggae feel, using up-strokes and lots of fret-hand muting.

  Dmin     C         Play 8 times Gmin        Amin    Play 4 times
    ///////  ///////                 ///////  ///////

As for the solos, there’s way too much to try and tab out!! Try F# Phrygian for the main
of the song, and D Minor for the reggae section.
