Live they play the riff below all the time. I think that part is just for the record and played in standard tuning. 3:24 e|-------------------------------| B|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|-----------------------0h2-0h2-| D|-2h4-4-4--4-2h4-4-4--4---------| D|--------------------------------| A|------------------0h2p0h2-------| D|-2h4-4-4--4-2h4-4---------2h5p2-| x4 3:33 Byzantine octaves e|--------|----------|-9--10--|-13--14---| B|-7--8---|-11--12---|-x--x---|-x---x----| G|-x--x---|-x---x----|-6--7---|-10--11---| D|-4--5---|-8---9----|--------|----------| A|--------|----------|--------|----------| D|--------|----------|--------|----------| 3:41 Byzantine riff e|------------------------|---------------| B|------------------------|---------------| G|------------------------|---------------| D|-------------------3--4-|---------------| A|-------1--2--4--5-------|---------------| D|-4--5-------------------|-0-1-0-2--0-3--| x4 Harmony e|--------------------------| B|-------------6--7--10--11-| G|-3--4--6--7---------------| D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| Breakdown riff, played staccato e|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| A|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2h4-4-4-2h4-4-4-| D|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2h4-4-4-2h4-4-4-| x8 4:50 Dub guitar w/overdrive e|----------|----------| B|----------|----------| G|----------|----------| D|-4-----5--|-2--------| A|-4-----5--|-2--------| D|-4-----5--|-2--------| Overdubbed with the main riff and main riff chords and you're done!
