Notes From John
The rhythm side of the Rhythm/Lead chart, in E minor at BPM = 187 in 6/8. A clean Em(add9) let-ring figure opens it, then distorted palm-muted chugs on E carry the grooves and melodies, with one passage of palm-muted E5 power chords strummed down-up.
For the player
Keep the palm mute tight and steady so every chug is the same size, and serve the riff, don’t thicken it. When the E5 passage arrives, keep the down-up strumming just as muted. The clean intro wants a light touch before the distortion comes in. At BPM = 187 the job is the feel.
