Same basic idea, just different picking patterns. During many of the post-hiatus live versions, this song featured a long spacey jam after interlude in the key of C. The jam was usually split into two parts, and was bridged by a distinct riff (Jam Riff 1): Jam Riff 1: C--------------------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------| F------------7-7-----------------7-9b11-7----| C--7-7-7-7-9-----9--0--7-7-7-7-9----------0--| F--------------------------------------------| C--------------------------------------------| After this, the improvisation continued and each band member went in their own direction it was time to bring the song back together for a final chorus. This was done using Riff 2: Jam Riff 2: C-----------------------| A--5--3--1--0--1--3--7--| F--0--0--0--0--0--0--7--| x3 C--0--0--0--0--0--0--x--| F--5--4--2--0--2--4--7--| C--------------------0--| Hold/strum the C chord for a few measures each time the first part to this riff is played.
