This part really isn't as complicated as some people may think.

|**The ^'s over some of the notes indicate accented *upstrokes **|
|**between palm-muted notes. These accented notes are all that **|
|**other tabs of this song included (which did not include the **|
|**palm-muted notes between them). When you slow it down to half**|
|**speed, you are able to hear that there is a note played for **|
|** every sixteenth value within in this riff **|
