A · pick it again
An exact excerpt from the preserved first writing attempt.
Carry the C
through the change.
The original guitar and the same new chorus. This comparison tests one musical choice: keeping C held as the harmony turns into F minor instead of picking it again at the barline. The changed moment is about 2.5 seconds into these excerpts.
B · carry it through
The same C continues into the rise. All other written notes and touch stay fixed.
A controlled articulation choice—not a new guitar, a harmonic correction, or a claim of Pat-level phrasing. Repeating a note can also be musical; this simply makes the alternative audible.

Exactly what changes
The C4 at soloBeat 59.50 lasts through 60.40; its separate 60.00 attack is removed. The original Eb4 at 60.50 still starts the rise. The same 95 manuscript notes now use 94 excitations. The complete chorus, harmony, shared clock, bass and every other note/onset/velocity/string stay fixed.
Every voice uses the unchanged original guitar renderer. One transparent constant matches the full solo's playback level; these short excerpts are not independently normalized. The complete take keeps the original theme/ring-out and mix-minus-guitar backing exactly. All previous recordings and URLs remain untouched.
