The part that Rick plays nowadays in the Mystery Mess is much easier
to play. I've written out the verses of that version too. You can use
that one instead of the part I've written above. If you want to play
along with the Mystery Mess, place your capo on the second position
instead of the fourth. You can use mottmyst.mp3 as reference.
        play this bar 3 times

Francis part:
I couldn't figure out exactly what Francis is playing.
For example the first two bars I hear in the bottom
something like this:

And the upper notes something like this:

I couldn't find a way to combine these two.
Possible solutions:
- there are more than two guitars in the backing
- Francis plays this part in a different tuning, that makes no sence
  as the solo is played in a standard tuning
- there's something wrong with my ears
I will give you the upper notes of the part I'm hearing as backing
for the verses.

                           Make sure the high e-string
                           is muted on this spot. You can
                           use your right-hand pinky for that.

A-verse 2:
Repeat verse 1 but replace the last two bars by

B-verse

Solo:
You can use mottsolo.mp3 as reference.

                        *Don't pick this note but hammer your
                         ringfinger on the sixth position (gives
                         weak tone)
