Pick real Fast and alot
By this ( ) I mean hold the B chord with your ring finger and just perform the
hammer and pull-offs with your index finger. Repeat This rythmn figure until
you hit the bridge to the chorus. The Bridge into the chorus has a bunch of
power chords which are held. Listen to the tune and you'll get the picture....
Chorus (Lyrics go 'HELPLESS....!')
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
A repeat 3x| A G | A G A
e|---------------------------------|------------------|-----------------
B|---------------------------------|------------------|-----------------
G|--------------------------------*|-----------------*|-----------------
D|------------------7p5---------5-*|-----------5-5-5-*|-----------5-5-7-
A|----------------------7-6-7-6----|-----------5-5-5--|-----------5-5-7-
E|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3--|-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-5-
By this I mean play Part 1 three times, then play Part 2. Then you play Part 1
three times again and finish the chorus with Part 3. Work with me on this
one... I'm not sure about the part 1 section... but this is close....
Now return to ryth. Fig 1 amd play it till you hit the chorus a second
time... do the chorus again and then play rythmn Fig 1 again until you hit the
little Newstead bass solo, after which you hit a second bridge. I prefer to
enter into this section with a jumping, banging pick slide. In other words I
bounce the pick off the low E, A and D while sliding the edge down the
fretboard... Anyway it sounds real cool...
Bridge 2
