Then after 'They got a lot o' nice girls' comes the break. Resume playing
the same as above with heavy distortion:

(I usually play the D string with my pick and the E string with
my middle finger. You can, of course, play both with your pick)

hit the distortion, and play the same as the first verse until the fade...
