The song begins with a buzzing sound tuned to an A pitch. Who knows what Adam used to create this (the vibrator in the liner notes?) but you can create it with delay and volume knob tom-foolery and a harmonic on the 12th fret of the A string. 10x E------------------------------|--------| B------------------------------|--------| G-----------------------------.|--------| D--10p9---------5b-----7b-----.|--10-9--| A-------0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0--|--10-9--| D------------------------------|--10-9--| note: Adam mutes the A string durring the pull off.
