                        0~ 

After the bass comes in, play this modified version:


                                         
                                     0   
       0  4~  0   0        0  4        0 
   0h2    4~    4   4  0h2    4          
                                         
                                 0       

and then after the drums come in, he adds even more
to that, but it varies a lot. Experiment with some
of these here, Just to give you an idea of some of
the things that he does:
