Title: Jeremy (new version)
Album: 6/20/95
Transcribed by: Rick

It's hard to hear all 3 guitars in this recording (this song does feature Ed on 
parts). Rhythm Figure 1 is featured prominently throughout the song with variations 
on strumming patterns. 

It seems as though Ed (towards the end maybe?) focuses on strumming around the Am 
based off the 12th fret:

Am: x-0-14-14-13-12

It also sounds as though he busts out the e-bow for use at the end with Stone 
improvising around Rhy. Fig. 1. Mike can be heard softly in the recording continuing 
with Rhy. Fig. 1 although not throughout the entire "outtro".
