I slap and pop everything but the intro and chorus. Play the Verse a few times 
and when the rest of the band kicks in, that's where the Pre—Chorus begins. 
Occasionally he'll begin the Pre—Chorus and Chorus by sliding down from the 12th 
fret on the A string. These are all pretty rough estimates so I suggest you do a 
lot of improvising to change it up — that and Les throws in countless fills during 
this song. I like to play this part with a wah pedal, toe up on the popped parts, 
to get a closer sound

Play a few times and then let an open A ring before playing the second half of the 
intro. It changes a little, but if you listen you should be able to pick it out. 
Play the verse some more and then the chorus again. I'm pretty sure this next part 
is off, but it'll due for now. Repeat the first two bars of this a couple times 
before playng the third and going back to the chorus.

Do a trill as you slide down the A string, let it ring and your done.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions I want to hear them.
