***At the end of the song it just repeats the first guitar part for the
breakdown(or something similar to it). its the same notes
none the less. then it goes to the beggining type riff.
And then theres some extra lil stuff goin on at the end like that funky
wah into harmonic type riff. dont worry about it you'll be too stunned
from the breakdown to play it correctly even if i did tab it out. Here's
one of the last riffs.
