On the left side is a guitar, I think both rhtyhm guitars were played by Paul, playing staccato power chords and on the right is a shuffle-type figure. The combination of them is a very large rhythm track. The solo is first played with a heavy delay and then split into two guitars (once again, one left, one right) that does a little harmony. All in all a good rocker. I canĄt believe they didnĄt play this live more often.
