[Ambient guitar]
These notes are played in the background, utilizing slow, wide vibrato for a "detuned" effect.
Later they are played an octave down. During the second verse it's mostly freeform,
just improvising over the chord tones. Another guitar also comes in with a reverse delay,
again mostly playing chord tones.
