Listen for proper strumming. If you have a wah pedal use it when appropriately by
to song. It sounds great with the wah. After the harmonics on the 5th fret go into verse 2.

      PM...............  open PM.............  open(2x for this open part)
 
After this is the part where Pete is screaming "NOW SATURATE". It's played the same as
intro (aggressive part)
 
Then go to the Chorus riff three times and back to the "NOW SATURATE" aggressive part
finish with the part where Pete is kinda whispering "now saturate" with the soft strumming
the intro.
 
I hope this isn't too confusing. Listen to the song a lot and the tab will become more
This is pretty close to being exactly right. Have fun.
