The rhythm on this part can be tricky (and tabbing rhythm is like telling a woman what
feeling)

This part is actually played with a fretless on the album. Live, I think Justin plays
whole shebang with a fretless.

This part is played with a bass whammy, but I've tabbed it out for those who don't have
(I don't and this sounds good enough).
Also with distortion.
