E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

This is the bit before he starts playing Supermassive blackhole on H.A.A.R.P, might not be 100% right but it sounds pretty good. To get the sound use a trebly fuzz, and you can figure out the timing for yourself.


e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|14~~~~~-12~14~12~14BU~~~~~~12-9~~~~~-12-9-7~~~~~7-9~5-7~2~~~~~| (Use harmonic option on fernandes sustainer and bend note up
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|






Then play the chorus and another bridge riff.
