chorus riff (random harmonics throughout)

***standard tuning***

trippy interlude. i think this is played on a bass guitar judging by the tone

and the fact that on the live album, Zakk plays the notes higher because his

low E string is tuned down. so this is the bass transcribed for a guitar in

standard tuning. i use a dual phaser and lots of delay to get the right sound

for this part. i put the fingering for the notes under them to make it easier.

it is played with 2 basic chord shapes.
