Then both guitars go play the Fill again but after the second measure
Guitar 2 plays...

Fill 2-Guitar 2-Distortion-this is a real quick little thing then back into
the first Fill He actually plays a pinch harmonic on the 14 fret of the
G string instead of the 17 I believe but my guitar is not good at doing 
those and I still kinda suck at them when its quick so I just play that
note instead
