^^i have a name! its right above where you typing, its Liam! please use it. and the guy your asking a question to commented how long ago!? im sure he wont reply.

yo liam. for the intro after the PM is done the A5 turns into a barre chord. in the recording you can hear the high strings being played. ALSO after the verse or w.e there is a riff like this: |----------------|----------------- |----------------|----------------- |----7-7---------|----7-7---------- |7-7-7-7-5-5-7-7-|7-7-7-7-3-3-5-5-- |7-7-5-5-5-5-7-7-|7-7-5-5-3-3-5-5-- |5-5-----3-3-5-5-|5-5-----1-1-3-3-- srryi cant remember if urs was half step dont or not...if so there it is if not just play everything 1 fret down. but int he second bracket there is that bass riff and i thiknk the guitar follows

yeah thanks, that actually sounds good, i tried it and its awesome, cheers man, never thought about this song so mch becsaue it seems so simple, like same riff over and over again, but now i hear that variation, thanks
