Velociraptor Man
Pretty simple song, just these three riffs.
Riff 1: This is easier to play and sounds better fingerpicked. Use your thumb to play
everything on the bottom string and your index finger to play everything else. If it’s
easier to use a plectrum for you then obviously do that though.

Riff 2: This is the verse one. It’s important to remember that the first time you hit
the F# (2nd fret of the E string) four times, but the second and third times you only do
it three times. Also palm mute the ones with a star underneath.

Riff 3: This is the chorus. Remember in the last bit of the verse that last power chord
is played TWELVE times, NOT EIGHT. And also remember to palm mute the second F#, it just
makes it sound cooler.
