Chorus Variation 1
Right after vocalist screams "To set us free!" play triplets on the bottom thre
e strings
holding your fingers just barely touching them, moving down the neck. You shoul
d get
sound of natural harmonics running down the neck.
Chorus Variation 2
At same location as the first variation, just on the last time:

Things are going to seem disjointed for the Bridge/Breakdown, read the order at
the
and it will make sense. Also, each time the main riff is played through four ti
mes, the
will variate. I'm trusting you to be able to figure out the simple rythmn switc
hes,
to the song, it will help.

It's also fun, after the outro riff has been played through four times, to pick
two
chords to play back and forth until your group fades/ends.
