There's not much to say about this. Just follow what I've written and you should have no problems.


Intro:
Guitar 1
e:0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
B:8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7- x2
G:6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
D:7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-
A:--------------------------------
E:--------------------------------

For this part, you want to let the high e string ring and play the rest of the chord staccado. Also, if you want the sound as it is on the recording, don't hit the open note every time. Listen to the track to hear what I mean.


Verse 1:
Guitar 1
e:0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
B:8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7- x9
G:6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-

D:7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-
A:--------------------------------
E:--------------------------------

On this part, use the same technique as described for the intro on guitar 1. Guiatr 2 plays staccado notes as well.

Slightly palm mute on this part. At the end of the riff, stop palm uting for a few notes, then start muting again at the start of the next riff. Again, listen to the track to hear this.
