Then intro riff
 
Then fade out into the fill and let the last note ring
 
 
Ending:
 
This is optional. However, you can hear that this is part of the actual song.
 
At the ending, while the last note is ringing, start to de-tune
your low E string until it is about one octave down from normal
low E. When it is that low continue to strum it until the song
is over.
 
And that's it! Please rate and comment!
