This is a bonus track on Chevelle's new album, which is a
Best Buy exclusive. The chords aren't too difficult to
hold, but it's the timing of your strumming hand that takes
a little getting used to. Especially the [RIFF 1] and [VERSE]
riffs. For those riffs, to stay on time it is most efficient
to double-stroke; hitting the notes on the downstrokes while
muting the upstrokes. The guitar and drums work on slightly
different timings through the [VERSE] riff, so it's critical
you understand the timing of the strokes there. And on the
bridge, I listed mainly what notes to hold, but do be aware
that on the 3rd and 4th repeats, Pete tremolo picks very
quickly, and also bends the notes slightly. That is all.
