I slap and pop everything but the intro and chorus. Play the Verse a few times
and when the rest of the band kicks in, that's where the Pre-Chorus begins.
Occasionally he'll begin the Pre-Chorus and Chorus by sliding down from the 12th
fret on the A string. These are all pretty rough estimates so I suggest you do a
lot of improvising to change it up - that and Les throws in countless fills during
this song. I like to play this part with a wah pedal, toe up on the popped parts,
to get a closer sound

Play a few times and then let an open A ring before playing the second half of the
intro. It changes a little, but if you listen you should be able to pick it out.
Play the verse some more and then the chorus again. I'm pretty sure this next part
is off, but it'll due for now. Repeat the first two bars of this a couple times
before playng the third and going back to the chorus.

He plays this after the last chorus. Palm-mute it (except for the note you bend)

Do a trill as you slide down the A string, let it ring and your done.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions I want to hear them.
