As you slide up, MAKE SURE YOU HOLD THOSE NOTES...you'll get the coolest

sound in the world and it's also part of the song.

I------7---7---3-3-3-3-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-----0---0---I

I--0-0--0-0-0-0-0---------------------0-1-1-1-1-0--I

Repeat this when band kicks in until the second time, instead of playing

an F, play a Bb on your first Fret A string.

2nd time

Then the first section repeats but when the band begins to build, hold

the F

I--------------------------------------------------------------------------I

I--0-0--0-0-0-0-0---------------------0-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0--I

The rest of the band kicks in here: This is the most used riff throughout

the song, take note of the last 6 notes, work on the timing to nail that

down. There's a modification of this part in the octave later on in the

song.

Interlude - extremely inaudible. These are the correct "base" notes but I

can't hear what David is actually playing. If you wanna play with it, try

messing around the 5th of each note (i.e. F/C or G/D).

I----------------------------I

I--0--8--10--8--0-\-12-------I

I----------------------------I

After the interlude, the band breaks in again with a VERY tight connection.

You have to do one hell of a pull off on your E string to make it sound

really good.
