before the solo play with your feedback to get an effect not unlike a
teapot whistle starting to go off.

Like in all of his other solos, Sean Eden takes a rather simple line
and makes it melodic and pretty.
Remember to be lyrical when playing, the melody more or less follows
that of the vocals.
Outro
Durring the outro the play the barre chords with open strings very
quickly and powerfully.
To get that background ring, one of the guitars can play the following
chords instead. But this isn't done in the actual song

end abruptly.

"Rendezvous" so stay tuned. Here's a preview of whats next:
