For the rest of the song repeat verse 1 and 2 with both guitars playing in unison the
riff. on the final note deaden all the strings on your guitar or switch to a pick up that
the volume turned all the way down depending on what kind of guitar your have. the
sounds a lot better live and in studio so long as your timing is perfect. leaves you
a very dramatic stop to add to the whole effect of the song. on the recording it is
to tell because of the quality of the recording but im pretty sure they just deaden the
allowing the little reverb they have in the mix to come through.
