in later parts of the song he they just play out the G5 (5) chord rather then adding the hammer ons and palm muting.

This part has two different versions in a way cause sometimes they play the G5 like I wrote it out and sometimes the play it like an octave chord like this |-10-x-12-|.  Either way sounds good but the timing is a bit tricky; there is an occasional extra zero and palm mute as well’ you’ll easily pick it up.

Solo(02:15) – Man I love this solo, hope you guys know artificial harmonics!

* = Artificial harmonic  
What’s an artificial harmonic? Bend the note and at the same time that you bend allow your thumb or the edge of your pick to hit very lightly on the string, this in turn will cause a wicked little squeal sound, it takes practice but when you get it, it sounds awesome. For further reference, listen to any Zakk Wylde song!

After the solo, its bass playing the main rhythm then repeated stuff.

Well, that’s everything peoples. Sorry it took so long, busy with school and stuff. Comments and corrections can be mailed. Oh and if you figure out a different way to play Chorus 2, lemme know!
