harmonics are actually played by keyboard and are not
played the 2nd time.}
{The 5th bar is the replacement for bar 4 the 2nd time the riff
is played, so it's actually the last arpeggiated chord played;
strum the chord and listen how it fades with the keyboard
chord together on the album...}
{For the high notes on top of these chords, see a couple of
riffs back.}
