The intro to "Oh Daddy" is much more difficult to play - LB's very quickly jumping from note to note in time with the delay he's set for that song, whereas "Go Insane" is a simple 2 slow notes with a bit of slapback echo. For completeness, it may or may not interest you to know that the delay box he used for "Oh Daddy" was the Roland Space Echo (it has a signature warm flutter echo), whereas "Go Insane" was the digital, much less warm sounding Boss DD-3.
You and I should get along perfectly, because we both love Lindsey's guitar playing. However, although I can play nearly anything the man himself can (though not as well), I know nothing about the technical stuff.

By the way, what tuning is he using for Oh Daddy? I usually play it in Drop D.
