Chords

[In the intro, when Shane begins to play the full chords, he does a kind of bouncing between the strings. He does this starting with the C and going all the way through the end of the intro. I put in the chords played, but if you want to learn the way Shane does it you can look at their youtube video (link above).] *[The second time through, Shane bounces around on the D chord for a few beats, and then does a really cool sounding rift (which is tabbed out). He also uses it to transition between verses. Listen to the song to figure out the timing on it. The first time through, to transition from the D back to the beginning of the intro, he uses his middle finger to slide down from 4\2 on the D string and start the intro over from there.] *[This is also how the D is supposed to be played throughout the song.]
