To get that harmonic sliding effect, place your finger above the 12th fret on the high E string and slide down slowly, plucking straight 16th note harmonics until you end up above the 7th fret at the beginning of the 4th beat. Do this four times under "We are the fossils, the relics of our time... etc". At the hold, hold for 8 beats, then play this 32nd-note strumming pattern, similar to the end of Cherub Rock: w hh q q q q e (022000@1)e (022000@1)e (022000@1)e (022000@1)e (022000@1)e (022000@1)e (022000@1)e------------------------------------------ (022000@1)------------------------------------------ --4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-x-- --4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-x-- --2-3-4-5-6-7-8--9--10-11-12-13-14-15-x-- ------------------------------------------ Under the guitar solo, play the main chorus part 3x and this pattern the fourth time: -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- --6-6-9-1----1--1-1--64-4-4--4--4-4--4/7-7-7--7-7-7-7-- --6-6-9-2----2--2-2--64-4-4--4--4-4--4/7-7-7--7-7-7-7-- --4-4-7-2----2--2-2--42-2-2--2--2-2--2/5-5-5--5-5-5-5-- --------0----0--0-0------------------------------------- Now here's where it gets interesting... Riff 1 is altered into a 3/4 time signature, with three measures of 3/4 time connected to a measure of 4/4 time. Play this entire sequence 4x, 2x without vocals, 2x under "quiet, i am sleeping...". At the end of the 4th time through, slide up to an B(7th fret E string) power chord instead of going back down to the E power chord. repeat this section 3 times ||-------------------------------|| ||-------------------------------|| [3/4] ||*-----------------------------*|| ||*--2h4-4-4--4/5-5-5--5/7-7-7--*|| ||---2h4-4-4--4/5-5-5--5/7-7-7---|| ||---0-2-2-2--2/3-3-3--3/5-5-5---|| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| [4/4] |--------------------------------------| |--2h4-4-4--4/5-5-5--5/7-7-7--2-2-2-2--| |--2h4-4-4--4/5-5-5--5/7-7-7--2-2-2-2--| |--0-2-2-2--2/3-3-3--3/5-5-5--0-0-0-0--| The lead part out of the solo into the changing time signatures is as follows (you need to either play it with a Boss Ocataver or deal with it not sounding very full-.. play twice before the vocals (play the notes in the [] to get the octave effect-: vib. vib. ---12/14--12----12/14--12------ --------------------------12--- ---[9/11]-[9]---[9/11]-[9]----- --------------------------[9]-- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Then the outro is back into 4/4 time, the normal chorus pattern 8x all the way through to the end, where it stops on the E chord the eighth time through.
