If you watch the concert, you'll see that Tom is doing volume swells in the intro solo,
Jesus, I don't see how it's possible to do volume swells reasonably well. I've included
Different versions on how to do the intro solo, but I think Version 1 sounds better.

This next part is played with a wah-wah pedal. Just stomp the wah
along to the beat of the song. You'll need to get the timing just right.

Tom Morello himself has said that he sometimes adds a 'dissonant note' in
The chorus. The dissonant note is basically a note out of the scale. For
example, the entire song Bulls on Parade is based on F#. So, any note out
of the scale of F# would be considered dissonant. Also, add some 'chuggas',
or muted notes in between.
