Based on the timbre of the strings that are being played, I'm pretty sure it's played on the higher strings. It also allows for the let-ring over the final 3 notes and the clashing dissonances in the last two measure, it's not just a normal tritone, there's deffo a Bb AND a B in there. e|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|------1-------------------------| D|2-----------2-3-0-2---------2-3-|0-2-3---------------------------| A|2-------------------------------|--------------------1-----1-----| E|0-------------------------------|--------------------0-----0-----| e|--------------------0-----------|0-0-0-0-------------------------| B|--------------------0-----------|0-0-0-0-------------------0-----| G|------------2-3-0-2-3-----------|3-3-3-3--------------5----------| D|--------------------------------|----------------6---------------| A|1-----1-------------------------|--------------------------------| E|0-----0-------------------------|--------------------------------| e|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|------1-------------------------| D|2-----------2-3-0-2---------2-3-|0-2-3---------------------------| A|2-------------------------------|--------------------1-----1-----| E|0-------------------------------|--------------------0-----0-----| e|--------------------0-----------|0-0-0-0-------------------------| B|--------------------0-----------|0-0-0-0-------------------0-----| G|------------2-3-0-2-3-----------|3-3-3-3--------------10---------| D|--------------------------------|----------------10--------------| A|1-----1-------------------------|--------------------------------| E|0-----0-------------------------|--------------------------------|
