I heard this song the other day and it blew me away, so I had to figure it
out.

Repeat 4 times
You may ask "how the heck is it possible to play this?" I personally
think that Skeoch has evolved an extra finger to play this stuff. The way
I do it is to make use of my thumb to fret the low E string on the G and
F#, then do a painful bend with my pinky along with the F base note.
Transition Riff 1: Acoustic and electric sound again

Nasty eh? ( you can get away with omitting the A string...)
do some creative thumb work again.
