For the weird bendy sound, just slide your finger up
the 5th string (G#, usually A) and bend a fairly high
fret up there :)
Then back to the main riff again for the chorus.
Then another verse and chorus, and then the song
changes, and gets interesting.
This riff is played a few times:
|--------------|
|--------------|
|--------------|
|-2------------|
|-2-----9--8---|
|-0--0--7--6---|
Then this:
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------|
|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------|
|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3/5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------|
Then repeat this a few times.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--7--7-7-7-7-5--5-5-5-5-----------------------------|
|--7--7-7-7-7-5--5-5-5-5-----------------------------|
|--5--5-5-5-5-3--3-3-3-3-----------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
The back into the main riff and that is about it!
No solo sorry
