b=bend do not bend it with your finger though, apply pressure to the bridge or whammy-bar,
so
that the note is only bent slightly-much of the first part of the song is played this way (listen to
the
record to pick it up) as are many other modest mouse riffs; i.e., this indicative of Issac Brocks
style.

m=mutebut pretty much all of this is muted except the notes on the b string. This is
the only
part that I am not too sure about, but it sounds about right, anywaysjust listen to the
record to
get the rhythm and to figure out when and when not to mute the strings

**very important** these notes are all harmonics!! If you dont know what harmonics means,
listen
to the record, and if you still dont get it, ask someone who knows how to play guitaralso on
3b
play this note right on the metal part of the fret that separates the 3rd and 4th fret, does that
make
sense? Also, on that same note, bend it by pulling up on the bridge of your guitar, i.e.
pressing down
your whammy bar.
Heres the man with teeth like
Just play SLOW PART again.
Then it goes into this

play this for awhile-listen to the record-then go back into FAST PART #2(but only play it
once)then it goes back into the
slow partof the song again, and Ive tabbed out everything for that already, so I trust that you can
figure out the pattern yourself
then it goes back in to the fast part of the song again, which you can also figure out, then it ends
on this:

^^^^^^^^^^^^=bend this note up and down with your bridge or whammy-bar.
