Here are the "Hendrix-Style" Octaves that Mike plays at the begining (and
end). Get the feel of sliding the octaves...don't just play them like
single notes.

This is a pretty lame part of the tab. I figured that it would take tons
of
time to get all the natural harmonics and improvised notes that they play.
This just gives you 1 idea to base how to play the song during Eddie's
vocals. Remember that it is an E to D pattern and improvise. I have never
heard this song live (would like to), but I would bet Mike and Stone do a
lot
of their own stuff during this part.

These are the chords played during "Here it comes, There it goes, etc."
I give the octaves that Mike plays as a fill to this part. If you can get
the octaves at the beginning of the song, you'll be able to figure out this
fill.
