Verse pt2 "Out of touch" Chorus
Scraping Part: The way to do this part when he sing "Smooth the sheets", is
you mute the fret board with you left hand around the 7th fret and with your
right hand mute the strings and do up and down strokes along with the rythmn.

Chaotic Riff (I think he uses a effect pedal for this but alot of
distortion will still give you a close enough sound)
