^this may look confusing but if youve seen him play this riff you should get the idea


after the 2nd time he plays that albert comes in with this riff:



albert:

|-----------7-----10---------7--7--7--10-9----12-9--7--7--10-9----12-9-------9-10-7---9-|
|-------------7-10---10-7-10-----8---------10--------8---------10------7-8-7--------7---|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
^ive seen people try to attempt to tab this and im pretty sure this is the right way to play it.
