this lead will be much easier if you look at the rhythm riff above, the chord changes are what compliment
the lead parts and the tabbed lead parts hit exactly when the tabbed chords above change. basically
aaron was following along with the root notes of what ben was playing.

if you listen closely this lead part comes in when the above rhythm part starts and gradually fades out
but it's playing the exact melody ben is singing
