You can use a 5 or 6 string and save yourself the trouble of worrying about the lower notes. You can also play it in standard tuning or you can also tune your E down 1/2 a step. Terms: Percussive pause - The act of hitting one of your strings in a "percussive manner" i.e. not playing an actal note, just kind of hitting the string. Most of the time this is marked by an "X" in most tab books. Riding the strings - Take the current note you are on, and slide up that string till you reach the note that is just ABOVE the fret.

No matter, nothing changes in that part as it is. So, just play the rythm. After the solo is done, Dave does his Vocal solo. As he does this, Nick hits the High Hat 16 times (i.e. Hold for 16), you hear a Drum Roll and David slides up and down the bass neck. There is a sudden stop/percussive pause and then the bass drum hits begin. Repeat this 14 times |Hold for 16 |Drum Roll| I------------------------------|--------------|---------| I------------------------------|--------------|---------| I--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-1-1-1-3-3---|--------------|---------| I------------------------------|--------------|15(slide)| |Bass drum starts |-------------------------------|------------| |-------------------------------|------------| |-------------------------------|-1-1-1-3-3--| |-3--3--3-10--15--0--X--3-------|------------| |slide up | |then down| |then stop|
