The chorus is played along w/ the vocals. So if you have and problems figuring out the rhythm just sing-alone w/ the song.

The interlude and bridge riff's are primarily based on power chords. By sliding throught to the next chord you create the crunchy thick sound that drives the song.

Interlude:

                      G#5                B5                  F#5              A5

For the solo, the lead guitarist uses a B minor penatonic scale, and a wah wah pedal.
The art of the guitar is that of improvision and sound. Use the scale to make up something thats sounds great and add your own little flair.
