When I play this part, I switch my WAH on and I play an E5 power chord. I follow the rythm with my wah pedal. The last bar of the 3rd verse have a slight variation of the main riff. (That's when UDO sings : "We are born to die") |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-5--5--4--3--2-----X-X-X-X---| |-5--5--4--3--2-----X-X-X-X---| After that, go directly to the Chorus |-3--3--2--1--0-----X-X-X-X---| Don't pass by the preChorus (and don't collect 200$ !!! 8-> ) Here's the riffs for the solo part (beginning at the end of the 2nd Chorus) |----------------------------------|------------------------------| |----------------------------------|------------------------------| |----------------------------------|------------------------------| |---5\4---5\4---5\4---5\4-----4/5--|---5\4---5\4---5\4---4/5-4----| |-0-3\2-0-3\2-0-3\2-0-3\2-0-0-2/3--|-0-3\2-0-3\2-0-3\2-0-2/3-2----| |----------------------------------|------------------------------| PM on low A________________| PM similar---------| Rythm of the next riff (the solo over this riff follow) |----------------------------|-----------------------| |----------------H-P---------|-----------------------| |---------------/\/\---------|-----------------------| |-----------2--0-2-0---------|-----------------------| |-0-3-2-0-2----------3-2-0---|-0-3-2-0-3--2----0-0-0-| |----------------------------|-----------------------| Play this riff 2 times then play the same thing 2 times again but play it on the 6th (E) and 5th (A) strings instead of the 5th and 4th.
