Now this riff is played in
pre-chorus (palm muted & relatively clean) and
chorus (with more distortion and attack).
It was really a challenge to figure this one out to be honest :DD
 
it has some extra spacing so that it makes sense in 4/4

Bridge is mostly crazy synth/xylophone stuff but there are a few recognizable guitar notes
so just mess around with them
