These figures are meant to be played with that 'galloping' rhythm.

The synth bit!  Tap left and right hand, if you can tap you should be able to figure
it out soon.  Not sure about positions, but notes are right.

Amazing tab man, 5 stars all the way. The only thing I'd say is that the big riff at the end would be easier to play if it was like this: G||---------------------------------------------------| D||--------------------------------------------5------| A||--5h7-7-7---7-5h7-7-7---7-5h7-7-7---7-5h7-7---7-5--| E||---------------------------------------------------| G||---------------------------------------------------| D||---------------------------------------------------| A||--5-----------5-----------5-----------5-----5-7-7--| E||----7-7-7---7---7-7-7---7---7-7-7---7---7-7--------| G||---------------------------------------------------| D||---------------------------------------------------| A||--7-0-0-0---0-7-0-0-0---0-7-0-0-0---0-7-0-0-2------| E||----------------------------------------------5-3--| G||---------------------------------------------------| D||---------------------------------------------------| A||---------------------------------------------------| E||--3-0-0-0---0-3-0-0-0---0-3-0-0-0---0-3-0-0-5h7-7--| I could be wrong, I've never seen Chris from Muse play it but that's how I'd play it.
