  • Heavy Part/Chorus after intro - This is basically the same as the intro but I thought I’d show the change in rhythm, use very blunt down strokes. I’m guessing this is the chorus, I can’t decided if it’s the “You know I can’t be there” part or this, either way its here.

    *Notes in brackets are an alternate way of playing that part, root power chords from that position can also be used instead of the high 10-11-12, personally, I find it more fun playing it the high way, but whatever suits you.

    Quiet part(02:32) This is the part just after the bridge with Nik doing a little drum solo, there is a pick scratch behind it. Place your finger over the 11th fret as if making a harmonic and scratch.
