Notes:
-4/4 time -- bar lines do indicate timing
-in the guitar solo, if a staff isn't divided with a bar line, that staff
 is one measure (eg. 3rd and 4th staff of guitar solo are each 1 measure)
-in Figure 1, the spacing for the Guitar 1 part is spread out the way it
 is to accomodate the Guitar 2 part (which needs more space than the Gt1
 part) so that the two parts align properly on the staff, but the first 4
 notes of the Guitar 1 part are played in quick succession (despite the wide
 space between the 3rd and 4th notes)
-dots (...) under a staff are for timing - under Staff 5 they represent
 1+2+, etc., and under Staff 6 they represent 1234
