Play the verse again noe time, not two, and let the feedback start up a lil'. Just stand really close to your amp. Play the chorus again, and play the second half twice Play the intro again, strumming the notes a little harder, and let them ring out nice and clear. This is the part where they go "Gainesville Rock City..." Play the happy fun riff again, but instead of just picking it, do a pinch harmonic on the hammered notes. If you have a wah, just set it so it sounds really high and play it that way. Also, only play the first part of said riff. It'll be a total of eight times. e|---------------------------------- B|---------------------------------- G|9-----------9---------9---------9 D|9-----------9---------9---------9 slide down to the end of A|7-(4/5-2/4)-7-4/5-2/4-7-4/5-2/4-7 the neck E|0-----------0----0----0---------0- *bass* That's it. Play often and enjoy!
