Electric guitar (4:28).
This guitar tab is very similar to the last one. A few notes are
different, and some variations in playing are present too.

Bass guitar (8:07).
This motive can be seen many times in all the song:
(8:08)/(8:28)/(8:48)/(9:08)/(9:28)///(11:38)/(11:58)
So repeat 5 times in (8:08) and twice in (11:38). I've made this
playing guitar, so maybe (I really don't know) this is not correct
for a bass-guitar.
