Verse pt2 "Out of touch" Chorus 

Scraping Part: The way to do this part when he sing "Smooth the sheets", is 
you mute the fret board with you left hand around the 7th fret and with your 
right hand mute the strings and do up and down strokes along with the rythmn.

Chaotic Riff (I think he uses a effect pedal for this but alot of 
distortion will still give you a close enough sound)
