~~A Word about tuning: Tune the Gb, Db, and Ab, slightly above those. So each of them are

in between

the flat and the real note. It's really weird, but the song sounds best like that. For

the low C,

tune exactly half way between C flat and C. I know it's crazy, but no other way can you get

the right

sound.

[3:13]

At this point, on the CD, the bassist has layered over top of this riff, some playing of

the

open C string. You can hear it real quiet: it plays the same rhythm as the snare drum here.

(3:15) Interlude

Gb|------------------------------------------------|

Db|------------------------------------------------|

Ab|------------------------------------------------|

C |2---------------5---------------0---------------|

[3:21]

The open C string layering stops here.

(3:58) Outro

Gb|-----------------|

Db|-----------------|

Ab|2-2--------------|

C |------5-5--0-----| Let Ring.

[4:03]

Here's more layering. Extremely quiet: I had to shove my ear against the speaker at full

volume

to hear it, but it's there believe me. The final open C string note is still ringing from

above

when at this point [4:03], this is played.

Gb|----------------------------------|

Db|----------------------------------|

Ab|----------------------------------|

C |2---------------5-----------------|

The open C string is not played, but it is still ringing, and at the end of that riff

cut off the 5. Please note again, EXTREMLY QUIET.
