Intro bass riff. Repeats several times before changing slightly. All notes are played staccato apart from the first note of D in the first 3 bars, and the last not of D in the first 2 bars. G-------5--7------7-|-----5--7-------7--|------5--7----|----------------7--| D-------------------|-------------------|--------------|--7---5------------| A--5----------------|-5-----------------|-5------------|---------8--7------| E-------------------|-------------------|--------------|-------------------| Wobble wobble time on the bass. Verse modulation. This is going to use fairly quick alternate picking in parts before moving into a kind of galloping rhythm at the end. It's easy to pick out on the record though.
