This one was getting requested a lot, so we have to do it!
Pro Tips:
- Overall, most of this riff is just alternating changing power chords with a repetitive single note figure. In measures 8 and 9 (measures are shown above the notation in the TAB), it turns into these big barre chords. If you're less experienced, it might make sense to split it up into the various parts and learn them one at a time, instead of trying to play through the entire thing right away. In other words, break the riff up into little bite sized pieces!
- There's a lot of changing positions in this riff. The number position you're in depends on which fret your first finger is in. In measure 2 and 3 for example, you play a power chord in position 1, and the slide from the 3rd fret to the 5th brings you up to the 3rd position where you'd finish playing the single note idea. Then your hand jumps back to the 1st position and repeats.
- Measures 6 and 7 are the same as the first few, just shifted up 5 frets. Repetition, how nice!
Theory Talk (Nerds only):
- The chords are: Bb major - D minor - Eb major - Gb major - F minor 7
- Most of this song is in the key of E minor, but this outro is in Bb major. How did we get here? Well you see, during the chorus at 2:51, we play an F major chord (...and time will stand still). This chord works as the b2 in the original key (E minor), giving things a Phrygian sound for a moment. This same chord also is the V chord of the new key (Bb major). Because the chord makes sense in both keys, it can act as a bridge connecting the two. Beautiful!
