^ I like the way the mute sounds in between, takes some practice to get right, also sounds good with playing the strings open instead of muting them.

Second Verse: Same As First Verse Without Palm Mute
Second Chorus: Same As First Chorus Without Palm Mute
Re-Entry: Play It Twice After Second Chorus
