On some shows, Matt liked to do an aditio-
nal power chord on the initial 3 on the 
low a, taking his ring finger off and sli-
ding to a power chord on 5, continuing as
normally.
Also, on some shows, he didnt do the se-
cond power chord on low a 6, but on the
studio recording it is audible that he did
do it two times.

on the third fret of the low a straight to
