play that twice, then the breakdown:

A--5----0-----5----0----5----0-----5----0

A--5--5-5-5--5-5--5--5-5-0 <--play this riff for about the
next 70 bars or so, this is the basic riff that goes through
to the end of the song. There is a change for a few bars
about halfway through the feedback, but sitting here in fron
of the computer i can't quite remember how it goes, so i'll
get back to you. If any part of this is wrong, i'm sorry,
i'm doing this from memory. obviously you have to listen to
get the timing down, I just approximated.
