Mute bass notes.
Riff varies but as far as i can tell it's always close to these two examples.
He plays drums and vocals alone and leads back in with a Em pentatonic riff along these
Then back into verse again.

When playing this section, slightly bend the doublestops on the two highest
strings to get this sound correct.
Steve also plays a small impovised lick at the start and end of each
performance. This differs each night, so just try and make up something
using the shapes shown above and the E minor pentatonic/blues scale.
Most of the songs riffs are repeated throughout, so listen and learn the
order. Also, it is played loosely, so dont worry too much about hitting
extra strings or notes.
