                          some kind of delay effect use
                          here

the rhythm in this part is sort of difficult,
listen to the song to get it right

now that weird delay effect comes in, if 
happen to not be Adam Jones and you want
to kind of fake the effect just slightly
bend each note that is played on the high
D-string. it doesn't sound just like it 
but gives it kind of the same feeling,
for me it works

then the effect is gone again and maynard starts 
singing:

this following piece is very strange rhythmwise,
especially the A5 chords with the extra notes. 
These extra notes are the notes that maynard sings
so it might be better to play along with the lyrics 
here rather than the guitar
