Fall to the Bed Riff - There is a little distorted line that sounds like a drunk mosquito with perfect pitch that starts at about 1:37 (now fall to the bed...). Just use a little distortion with the tone backed off a bit thru a bridge humbucker... (Tanya probably fed it thru some weird effect box, oh well) it sounds ok. Play the whole phrase twice and then stop at the line



                            stop here on 3rd repetition
