The intro to this superb song can be played best on a Les Paul or a guitar with a similar bridge. I have an ibanez thus do not have this luxury. Anyway Adam plays the ‘tapping’ effect this way… tap the end of the bridge continuously on the A string. The other part that comes in during the intro… don’t worry about it, that’s Maynard doing something with his voice and a megaphone. Soon bongos will come in… and then another faded guitar part that goes…

Play this very slow and soft with reverb…
