(5:46) NOTE: This is played with a guyatone Bottom Rocker Auto Wah. It has a very synth like sound
to it. JC is hitting different stings at different times giving it a sound that makes the riff sound
more complex than it is. It is just the D octave. It is hard to tab what he is doing but I will attempt
to translate as best as I can. If you do not have an auto wah you can use a regular wah wah pedal but it
will sound different. The guyatone has a very distinct sound.
Follow Maynard's lyrics and let that last note ring!

(6:03) I saw Justin play this live! Lots of crazy stuff going on
figure out the timing here- *ring out a little Left hand muting is very important here!
Those 3-5's on the d and a strings are lightning fast. The x's I am denoting below are not a
played mute but simply an emphasis to mute the string with your left hand very quickly.
