Chorus backing1:

Lots of bassy overdrive:

With the bits in brackets, play them separately and use a wah-wah or auto-wah pedal to get a sort of "woww" sound.

Chorus backing2:

Lots of bassy overdrive:

With the bits in brackets, do the same as above.

Verse backing:

Use lots of gain to get the harmonics and use a bassy overdrive:

|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
|----Harm.-Harm.---Harm.-Harm.---Harm.-|----Harm.-Harm.---Harm.-Harm.---Harm.-|
|-0-0-10---10---0-0-10---10---0-0-10---|-0-0-10---10---0-0-10---10---0-0-10---|

Bridge backing:

Lots of bassy overdrive:

|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|-3-3-3---------3-3-3-------------|-3-3-3---------3-3-2-------------|
|-3-3-3---------3-3-3-------------|-3-3-3---------3-3-2-------------|
|-3-3-3---------3-3-3-------------|-3-3-3---------3-3-2-------------|

Bridge backing2:

Lots of bassy overdrive:

|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|-4-4-4-3-3-3-2-1-1-|
|-4-4-4-3-3-3-2-1-1-|
|-4-4-4-3-3-3-2-1-1-|

Super-cool riff:

As far as I can tell, this is how to play it. It is unbelievably hard to play. I can get it almost right but never perfect.

The bass bit mirrors this bit. Try it if you dare!

Play 8 times with a very slight overdrive, less palm mute and harder picking as you near the end. Remember to get the tuning right . . .

  P.M.---|    P.M.-----------|      P.M.---|    P.M.-------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|----------H----------------------|----------H----------------------|
|---5-----3-5---3---3-------------|---5-----3-5---3---3-------------|
|-0---3-0-----0---3---3-0-2-3-2---|-0---3-0-----0---3---3-0-2~~~~---|

Now with loads of bassy overdrive, play this 4 times:

|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|----------H----------------------|----------H--------------2-------|
|---5-3-0-3-5-------3-------------|---5-3-0-3-5-------3-----2-------|
|-0-----------0-2-3---3-0-2-3-2---|-0-----------0-2-3---3-0-2-------|

Ending:

Yet more bassy overdrive:

|---------------------------------|---
|---------------------------------|---
|---------------------------------|---
|-3-3-0-3---0-3---3-3-0-3---0-3---|-0- Now slide them down,
|-3-3-0-3---0-3---3-3-0-3---0-3---|-0- if such a thing is possible.
|-3-3-0-3---0-3---3-3-0-3---0-3---|-0- Maybe use a trem . .
