Pick
real Fast and alot
By this ( ) I mean hold the B chord with your ring
finger and just perform the
hammer and pull-offs with your index finger. Repeat
This rythmn figure until
you hit the bridge to the chorus. The Bridge into the
chorus has a bunch of
power chords which are held. Listen to the tune and
you'll get the picture....

By this I mean play Part 1 three times, then play Part
2. Then you play Part 1
three times again and finish the chorus with Part 3.
Work with me on this
one... I'm not sure about the part 1 section... but
this is close....
Now return to ryth. Fig 1 amd play it till you hit the
chorus a second
time... do the chorus again and then play rythmn Fig 1
again until you hit the
little Newstead bass solo, after which you hit a second
bridge. I prefer to
enter into this section with a jumping, banging pick
slide. In other words I
bounce the pick off the low E, A and D while sliding
the edge down the
fretboard... Anyway it sounds real cool...

Ok, Lots of explaining to do... first of all the
bridge: play each section
marked for repetition and then proceed to the next
bar... do not go back to
the beginning of the bridge each time... I just was
lazy and didn't want to
write it all up... listen to the song and then try to
figure it out...The
bridge ends with four power chords: B, G, A, B. Then
the song heads into
rythmn figure 2.
Rythmn Fig. 2 is played FAST! Repeat it a bunch of
times until you hit the
second set of lyrics. Then break into Rythmn Fig 3
followed by Rythmn Fig 3a.
After the lyrics then back to Rythmn Fig. 2. This
entire thing is repeated
twice (I think.... Check out the song).
Now we head towards the guitar solo. Rythmn fig 2 is
played once and followed
by rythmn Figure 1. Ryth. Fig 1 repeats a bunch of
times and the intro to
the solo starts with an E power chord on 0th fret.
Rythmn Fig 1. is played
behind the solo until near the end of the solo the
Rythmn changes to rythmn
figure 4.

Now finish the solo off with Rythmn Fig. 3a....
The lead for the solo is basically a blues based Hammet
solo in F#.
Most of it is played on 14th fret, and Kirk does his
standard drop down to F#
on the 2nd fret.
Well I'm almost done.... Now the song finishes with
Rythmn Figure 1 being
played a couple of times and then a slowed down,
slightly varied version
ends the song....
