7a starts when Kirk starts playing riff 1 distorted and the orchestra is still doing
the breakdown part. 7a continues through the first two "And it comes to be" lines,
then switches to 7b for the rest.
solo by Boyle: It's not exact, but it's a good starting point.
the solo starts as a continuation of riff 5b)
