i know people have asked about this before, but i'm not talking about the intro riff, or the verse riff (although i am interested in the verse riff). i'm wondering if anyone knows what tim is doing during the chorus?? it's this sweet sounding repetitive riff and i can't figure it out. thanks.

listen to the recording for the rhythm... he does a lot of muting here, and a decent amount of vibrato to make it really jump..

here's the only part i've cared to transcribe to tab

'You are my rapunzel' -

G|---5------|
D|-7---7-6-|

he does a lot of decending chromatic lines for a lot of the verses
