I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

I have the tabs for it already. The way he plays it is really cool. I just dont can't work it out to sound like he does.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey There Z, let me try to break it down a little.... you're right a bit of muting, hammering really.  Try staying in a Em position with your ring and middle finger 4th & 5th string) and then go to the next two strings (3rd & 4th string) with that same Em hand shape even though it calls for an A shape until you hear the familiar riff.   The progression is pluck, pluck, lift fret hand pluck & hammer on, and pluck.     All the while you're focusing on string 6 & 4 first (Em) then 5 & 3 (A).....and sounds like the verse.

When it sounds familiar, notice you'd get the same notes using the E and A chords because of the string and frets being played.

Good luck!
