Ok, at this point of the song, there is a cool bass note that sorta jumps out of nowhere but sounds excellent. For those of you who don't have bass accompaniment & would like to interject this chord I kinda just discovered, to play around with, see if you like it. It can be sort of a pain in the butt at first, but if u have the fingers and wanna try it... :)

Here's a decent fill if u wanna use it instead of the palm muted stuff below this staff. Play it as fast as possible or whatever, as long as u are using steady downstrokes.
