And then theres some extra lil stuff goin on at the end like that funky wah into harmonic type riff. dont worry about it you'll be too stunned from the breakdown to play it correctly even if i did tab it out. Here's one of the last riffs. |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |--8-7-5--8-7-5--8-7-5--8-7-5--------| |--8-7-5--8-7-5--8-7-5--8-7-5--------| pm-------------------------------------|
