This little riff is only played live. That's one of the best add-on
that Dave have done. That's really fast paced and played 2 times in
the song (after each Intro riff). For the intro on the AT&T Acoustic
show Dave is only playing the first part of the riff and ends it on
palm-mutes. Play that barre with your index always on the 7th fret
and use your ring finger to play the variations...
