This document may be used in any way as long as it remains unchanged. the song begins with a buzzing sound tuned to an A pitch. Who knows what Adam used to create this (the vibrator in the liner notes?) but you can create it with delay and volume knob tom-foolery and a harmonic on the 12th fret of the A string. 10x E------------------------------|--------| B------------------------------|--------| G-----------------------------.|--------| D--10p9---------5b-----7b-----.|--10-9--| A-------0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0--|--10-9--| D------------------------------|--10-9--| note: Adam mutes the A string durring the pull off.

Live he did this with delay and volume knob. you can do it that way, or if you don't have a delay pedal to spare, pick very quickly right at the bridge, almost across the bridge rather than across the string. then he goes back to fig 1. then he plays the verse riff with more volume then at "but i'd trade it all...." he plays E-------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------| G-------------------------------------------------------| D--10p9p0-7-----5-----7-----10-9-7-9---12---14-14-14\12-| A---------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------0----0-------------| D-------------------------------------------------------| 4x 4x 4x 4x E-------------|-------------|------------|------------| B-------------|-------------|------------|------------| G------------.|------------.|-----------.|-----------.| D--7---------.|--6---------.|--3--------.|--5--------.| A--7----------|--6----------|--3---------|--5---------| D--7-7-7-7-7--|--6-6-6-6-6--|--3-3-3-3-3-|--5-5-5-5-5-| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ this whole section repeats. on the repeat the 3's and 5's with ^'s are replaced with X's Fig 2 4x 2x E---------|----------------------|-----------------------| B---------|----------------------|-----------------------| G---------|---------------------.|----------------------.| D--10-9-7-|--3-0-0-0-3/-0-0-0-0-.|----------------------.| A--10-9-7-|--3-0-0-0-3/-0-0-0-0--|--12b=12r-12-12-12-12--| D--10-9-7-|--3-0-0-0-3/-0-0-0-0--|--12b=12r-12-10-10-10--| 4x ?x E-----------|---------------------|------------| B-----------|--15-15-15-15-15-15--|--15-15-15--| G-----------|--12-13-13-13-13-13-.|--13-13-13-.| D--0-x-0-x--|--12-12-12-12-12-12-.|--12-12-12-.| A--0-x-0-x--|--0=======-----------|------------| D--0-x-0-x--|--0=======-----------|------------| 4x E----------|-------|-----------12-------------------------- B----------|-------|--------15----15-14-12----12----12----- G--9-9/10-.|--9-9\-|-----14----------------12----12-----14- D--7-7/8--.|--7-7\-|--12----------------------------------- A----------|-------|--------------------------------------- D----------|-------|--------------------------------------- Fill A fill B E----------------|---------|------------------------------------ B----------------|-----15~-|------------------------------------ G-------[12]-----|--14-----|--14-14-12-12-11-11-------------12-- D--[12]------[7]-|---------|--------------------14-14-12-12----- A----------------|---------|------------------------------------ D----------------|---------|------------------------------------ E---------------------------------| B--10--------------------------10-| G-----12------------------9-12----| D--------12-11---------11---------| A--------------12~~-12------------| D---------------------------------| fill B then fill A then E------------|-------|------------|-----| B------------|-------|------------|-----| G--[12]-----.|--[12]-|-----------.|----.| D-------[7]-.|-------|------[12]-.|--7-.| A------------|-------|--[7]-------|--0--| D------------|-------|------------|-----| pm. i didn't put the number of repeats on any of these out of laziness.
