Chorus: Same as the first chorus(look above)
Bridge: This is where things are really tricky. Guitar 1 (Zacky) is strumming the
chords, Syn is doing some vibrato into harmonics with subtle bends i think. Im not sure
exactly how to do this technique(probably feedback) but if you find out please let me
know and I'll correct the tab.

Solo 1: This is a seemingly very simple solo but the bends can actually be quite tricky
to get the exact sound and some of the pick work is subtle. This is what Syn plays watch
him playing at the Krockathon in Syracuse.

Interlude: Another tricky segment to tab out.Both Guitar 1 and 2. It sounds like they
are both doing slightly different things. There is another tab on Ultimate Guitar by
davidlhcalz (props to him) that nails it this is just to spice things up a little and
give both guitars something slightly different to play.

Solo 2/ Outro: Guitar 1 strums chords of the interlude. Listen to the recording to get
the exact order down for the solo he changes it several times.
