For this next part after the intro where he sings, "Breakin' my back just to know
your the guitarist uses a harmonic technique to get that cool helicopter effect.
To do this hold your fingers over the strings loosely, not pressing down enough
to get sound from the actual notes, but tight enough to not hear open strings vibrate...easy smeasy right?

I've transcribed it hear to show the parts of the neck Keuning (guitarist) is hovering
and the parts he's "sliding" to.

|-15----\--9----\--7----\--3-------/----5---|
|-15-----\-9-----\-7-----\-3------/-----5---|

(Hold each of these harmonics for a 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & count while sliding. Don't reach the
chord until you finish the counting slide of the other chords. This is the only part of
song that requires you to utilize upward and downward strumming in a fast pace.)

(You play both these parts using downstrums...I know, I did say it would get tedious but
stays fun.)

The lead part, which is not really a lead but more just playing single notes in a melody.
