Suggestion from Jason (Stellerclear@aol.com)
hey i think i found an easier way to play this....just my opinion though,,,
its on this riff
e|----------6---| B|-----6--------| G|---3---3------| D|-5------------|
I think it should be:
e|--------------6-------| b|-------6--------------| so all you have to do is lift up and g|--0-------------------| finger and change picking from the other chord d|----8-----8-----------|
later

played in this manner:

e|---------6--------------------10-------------| B|-------8---8---------------10----10----------| G|-----8-------8----------10----------10-------| D|---8-----------8-----10----------------10----| A|-6--------------6--8----------------------8--| E|---------------------------------------------|
[D#]why there is no perfect place
[F]I say i know this is true
then
these chords 4x each
e|-------------| B|-------------| G|-7--6--4--2--| D|-8--7--5--3--| A|-8--7--5--3--| E|-6--5--3--1--|
do all that twice, then this is the faster part:
