END FIRST:

Rhythm: play verse riff #1.

Lead plays this:****
13 x 13 x 13 x 13 13 x 13 13 13/15 13 12 12/13 13
(12) x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
10 x 10 x 10 x 10 10 x 10 10 10/12 10 9 9/10 10
0 0 0 0 0
THEN:

Rhythm: play verse riff #2 (the one with the “chugging” notes)

Lead: play a bunch of muted notes
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x etc...
And you can hear natural harmonics:
x x x x x x x x
x x x x 5 5 5 5
5 5 5 5 x x x x
x x x x x x x x
LAST: Lead: keep playing the harmonics, until last measure And rhythm plays:
5 5 5 5 7 7 7 7 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 12 12 7 \
5 5 5 5 7 7 7 7 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 12 12 7 \
3 3 3 3 5 5 5 5 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 10 10 5 \
|Lead:
7 \
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
(5) 4 \
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
And for the last chord, lead stops doin the harmonics, and Plays a harmonic third or whatever it’s called. There you go.

On the 2nd part of the solo (the high octave slides)

the exact tab would look something like this:
13 x 13 x 13 x 13 13/ 13 13 13/15 13 12 12/13 13
(14) x 14 x 14 x 14 14/ x x x x x x x x
10 x 10 x 10 x 10 10/12 10 10 10/12 10 9 9/10 10
0 0 0 0 0
You can hear a dissonance, but I am not quite sure witch notes are the dissonance, and I it sounds just as good either way Same goes for here, towards the end of the song:
13 x 13 x 13 x 13 13 x 13 13 13/15 13 12 12/13 13
(12) x 12 x 12 x 12 12 x x x x x x x x
10 x 10 x 10 x 10 10 x 10 10 10/12 10 9 9/10 10
0 0 0 0 0
Variations:

1:13 – play verse riff 2---last chord

Instead of playing whole chord, just play the bottom note of the chord, and do a (slow) full bend.

1:24 — just do pick scrapes at the end of "verse riff 1."

And that be it for now. ===============================================================================
