There is a lot of overdubbing in this song. For the intro, Riff 1 isplayed four times: once by itself, the second time accompanied byRiff 2, and the third and fourth times accompanied by Riff 2 and 3.For the chorus, Daron plays a slight variation of Riff 2 and Riff 3. Healso plays riff using a bouzouki during the chorus and towards the endof the song. If you are wondering which part is played by the bouzouki,it is the instrument that plays the notes Serj is singing when he says"self-rightous suicide" and "angels deserve to die". The bouzouki addsa nice piano-like sound.The asterisks (*) mean that the measures are repeated.
