I would recommend a thicker tone than what FF usually use; a lot of bass, treble backed off a bit, and maybe you can slip a little midrange in there, too. A good thing to practice here is the virtue of economy fingering. For those of you new this idea, the principle is that the less you have to move your hand around, the less chance that you'll screw up. This song is an excellent introduction to economy fingering because there are only two riffs and both offer excellent opportunity to practice economy fingering. Look at Riff A. If your initial impulse is to put the index finger on the third fret of the low E string and your ring finger on the fifth fret of the D string and then slide your whole hand back two frets, you're making a bad technique error! Instead, put your middle finger on the third fret of the low E string and stretch your pinky to the fifth fret of the D string. Then, without moving the position of your hand, stretch your first finger back to the first fret of the low E string and use your ring finger to hit the third fret of the D string. That way, your hand stays in the same place, and it actually sounds clearer because you don't have to slide your fingers around! Now look at Riff B. Your instinct is probably to put your third finger on the third fret of the low E string and your index finger on the first fret of the low E string to do the pull off. This instinct is well-guided; you should do that. But when you have to hit the 4th fret of the A string, you should use that pinky. That way, you don't have to move your hand around so much. Tune all strings down a perfect fourth (B, E, A, D, F#, B) LEGEND: * -- palm-mute H -- hit-on P -- pull-off ~~~~ -- vibrato A.H. -- Artificial Harmonic N.H. -- Natural Harmonic / -- slide up \ -- slide down slow speed Intro with synth effects, then drums come in, then guitar plays...
