Riff 2A-Munky



Munky uses a volume pedal right here. He plays the note while Head is playing 

his thing but press the volume pedal around the time when Head hits the 19th 

fret on Riff 2B. I can't really describe it any differently.

Then it just alternates between an A chord and a D chord, its easy enough to 

figure out yourself, if u can play the guitar and like KoRn that is. But 

only play the top 3 strings and put mad ditorsion on it or it sounds like 

dave matthews band, he sucks
