But, underneath all that there is a guitar. It is heavily distorted and basically just plays chords through- out the song. There is a little fill-type thing going on in the second verse. IĄm guessing itĄs actually played by the keyboard but itĄs in the back of the mix so I canĄt really tell. It is transcribed here as Riff 2. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------4p-3---4p-3------------| G|--3----5--------8----10-------10\---3------------3------3----------| D|--3----5--------8----10-------10\---3------------------------------| A|--1----3--------6----8--------8\----1------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| Let ring -
