It runs through the same shape as the rest of the song. On a steel string acoustic (with no cut-away) it can still be easily achieved. Nylon players will have a tougher job. Just because I'm saying it's easy doesn't mean you will be able to master it as fast as other people. For sure, this part is the highlight of the song. Add vibrato whenever there's a long hold on a note. Also make sure you notice the bends are done slowly at the beginning.

(Guitar 1) Distorted Electric - Kirk (Guitar 2) I've only tabbed out Kirk's outro riff because James is playing the chorus riff (2 times). Here's the whole riff. The very first note of the whole thing can be played as an open note on the first e string to give you time to run up the fret board (Kirk actually does this when he's playing). Play the starred section once, then play Part I. Play the starred section again, then play Part II. ~~ LET ALL NOTES RING FOR AS LONG AS POSBB LE ~~ E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * B|-----------|-------7--7h8-|-----------|------7---8---s| * G|-9---------|---9----------|-9---------|---9-----------| * D|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * A|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * B|s10--------|-------7--8---|-8+----8p7-|-8-------8p7-7-| * G|---9-------|---9-9--------|-----------|------------9--| * D|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * A|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * B|-----------|-------7--7h8-|-----------|------7---8---s| * G|-9---------|---9----------|-9---------|---9-----------| * D|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * A|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| * Part I E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| B|s10----8p7-|-8------8p7-7-|-----7-----|-8------s10----| G|---9-------|-----------9--|-9---------|---------------| D|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| A|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| E|-----------|--------------|-----------|---------------| Part II *Play 2 bars of Intro Riff* E|-----------|--------------|---------------|---------------|-------|----| B|s10--------|--------7--8-s| s10--10--10-10s|s12--12--12-12s|-17~~~~|~~~~| G|---9-9-----|---9-9--------|---------------|---------------|-------|----| D|-----------|--------------|---------------|---------------|-------|----| A|-----------|--------------|---------------|---------------|-------|----| E|-----------|--------------|---------------|---------------|-*---*-|-**-| [Ending] Double Guitars Distorted Electric - James (Guitar 1) Distorted Electric - Kirk (Guitar 2) Then to finish off the song...
