A new riff shows up at 3:12. Palm mute all the notes marked with a *. Play this part 3 times On the fourth time, listen for the "YEAH" and play: D#|-------------------------|----------------------| A#|-------------------------|----------------------| F#|-------------------------|----------------------| C#|-------------------------|----------------------| G#|-----5--5-3---5-3--5-3---|-----5--5-3-----------| C#|-0-0-------3-----3----3--|-0-0-------3---15~~~--| * * * * Same riff at 3:22, different drum arrangement: Play this part 3 times On the fourth time, lock in and play the chromatic pattern: D#|-------------------------|---------------------------| A#|-------------------------|---------------------------| F#|-------------------------|---------------------------| C#|-------------------------|---------------------------| G#|-----5--5-3---5-3--5-3---|-----5--5-3----------------| C#|-0-0-------3-----3----3--|-0-0-------3~--7-6-5-4-3-2-| * * * * * * * * * * The guitar solo comes up at 3:33.

The song will finally return to the post-chorus section and end with the syncopated C# groove as if it were bridging back into the verse. ************************************ | ~ Vibrato ************************************
