without skipping a beat go from the last line to the verse riff 2 times
(background rhythm for the solo)
solo (lead guitar w/ standard tuning)
didnt do the whole staccato and vibrato thing for time's sake, you figure that part out,
cuz the rest of it's good...

| I love this entire CD. Perfect is one of my favorite songs on it, because it reminds me of a girl I know. That sounds cliched, but who cares, this song rocks. | |

| I love this song, what I hate is when people bitch about a different sound. You expect a band to produce endless amounts of the same crap without altering their sound one bit? Give me a break. This song rocks. | |
