Two things in this song are pretty hard to play; the low F in Rhy. Fig 3 is a bitch to get to after the preceeding riff and the arpeggiation of Absus2 in Rhy. Fig 4. Now, the low F could be easily solved by using a capo at the first fret, that would land the F on the open 6th string. I don't think that's how it was played however. The arpeggiation and that cumberome fingering could be easily solved by tuning down to Eb and using open strings. But, the timbre of that part doesn't suggest open strings, but rather the position I've used here. I say just play. 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|---------------------------------------------------------| G|--------10~---8----10p-8---------------------------------| D|--------10~---8----10p-8---------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| E|--8--8--------------------8--8--8--8--8--8--8--6---------| P.M.
