The note in () is prebent from 10 on the d string. SLOWLY release, adding a little hint of vibrato. The solo has a very skipping kind of feel. Sometimes, I think that it is Noel Gallagher playing the guitar solo. s;)

Before hitting the high G (15) on the e string, drag your pick quickly but deliberately across the other strings. This is known as a rake.

The following are the solos/fills that Hisashi does in "Happiness."
