These are various riffs that have been played live, but do not constitute full songs themselves. The criteria for a riff ending up here is whether Muse have ever recorded it in a studio. For example, Minimum was featured on the Muscle Museum Vinyl, and so does not go here.

Then some more improv.

Wankdorf / MK Jam

Note: Rhythm isn't tabbed exactly. Basic rhythm pattern is h-p-0-h-p-0-h-p-h-p-h-p; with 0 meaning "pluck".
Beginning:
G |---------------------------
D |---------------------------
A |-7p0-0h12p0-0-7p0-12p0-12p0

Occasional variations:

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

G |-----------------------------
D |-----------------------------
A |-12p0-0h16p0-0-12p0-16p0-16p0   x4
E |-----------------------------

Breakdown-esque part:
G |--------------------------
D |--------------------------
A |12p0-0-3p0-0-5p0-6p0-6p0-- x 11
E |--------------------------

and at the end of that section, Chris 
sneaks in a harmonic over the 5th fret on the G string.

ending: the ending is similar with just a little different rhythm 
in the last 30 seconds or so, and some added notes on 
fret 9 on the G string i.e.:

G |---------------------------------------9-9-9-9-
D |-----------------------------------------------

Electronic riff - Post-Microphone Fiend H.A.A.R.P., Pre-Who Knows Who Glastonbury 2010

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grEUQ3_l-J0 - 4:30 - Post-MOTP, in a different key


Matt plays some lines that sound random, but definitely have some order and design. Here's the basic shape. 

Sometimes he uses the Whammy with it, not sure about the timing of the pedaling though.
