This lick is played with a delay so it sounds like Kevin^Òs playing more
notes than he is.  I was too lazy to figure out what the delay time
should be set at.  This lick is first played at 1:23:

 

E-10---9---7---5---5-/-7-\-5-------------------------------------

This little riff pops up every once in a while:

The strumming patterns might not be quite right, but listen to the cd and
it shouldn^Òt be too hard to pick up.  Questions?  Corrections?  Hate
