  Verse Riff

  ----------

  

  To play the verse's touch harmonics you fret the C string at either the 12th 

  or the 10th fret with your index, then lightly touch the string over the fretbar

  3, 4 or 5 frets higher as noted with your pinky. You will have to pick the touch

  notes fairly hard.

  

  To pull off the muted picking between harmonics just hold the harmonic and palm

  mute, it will completely silence the note.

  

  For the two measures with harmonics, the numbers ABOVE the C indicate what note

  you should be fretting. The numbers on the C itself show at which fret to touch

  the string for the harmonic. Pick normally during the 2nd and 4th measures.

  *The last time you play this riff before the bass solo, play this last measure

   without muting and with increasingly harder picks.

  

  

  Bridge Riff

  -----------

  

  Time changes to 6/8. The bass plays a solo riff twice that is very similar

  to this one but half the length. After four measures, the guitar joins in.

  Outro Riff

  ----------

  

  This riff is played at the very end as a variation on the interlude. Use

  lighter palm muting and you shouldnt have to unmute to hear the harmonics.

  

  The touch harmonics are done exactly as in the verse, but this time

  every one of them is positioned 2.2 frets above the fretted note. The tab

  has an H at every location of these. So if you see 6H, fret at 6, touch at

  about 8.2 and pick hard to hear the harmonic.

  

  Very light distortion, like the interlude.
