Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. So this song had been out for nearly 18 years, and I had been playing it the same way for about 16 or 17 years, before I realized there was one major thing about it that I had been playing wrong the whole time. All of the chords at the first fret are actually tritone intervals, rather than powerchords. This means the fifth of the chord is lowered by half a step, creating a very odd-looking chord with the open 5th string in the middle of it. Brad shapes this chord with his index finger on the 6th string and his middle finger on the 4th string (there isn't a whole lot of live footage that shows it clearly, but I found a couple quick video shots that were good enough to tell). This makes the slide up to the following chord at the 7th fret kind of difficult if you stick to fretting powerchords with your index finger like Brad does, but I find it to be easier if you play that chord with your ring finger. Anyway, outside of the weird tritone chord, the major point of interest is the harmonic in the intro/pre-chorus riff. It's played in the middle of the 3rd fret, just a bit past the position marker on the side of the neck, hence the "2.7" marking. If going from the 7th fret powerchord to that harmonic is tough for you, the same harmonic also exists at the 6th fret, which is much easier (and how I personally play it). Brad plays the 2.7 version, though. Also, for the muted strums between the open Db5 and the 7th fret Ab5 in the chorus riff, you'll want to do the muted strums in the general vicinity of the 7th fret, there's a little bit of a harmonic sound to them. Lastly, the 1st to 7th fret jump in the main riff may seem impossibly fast, but the last powerchord at the 1st fret is just an approximation, as it's actually performed while sliding up to the 7th fret. It's pretty much impossible to notate, so I've just left it the same as the three chords that precede it. Just know that the last chord before the jump to the 7th fret is a slide and you'll be fine. Guitars 1 through 4 play the same thing at all times, and Guitar 5 does the soft part in the bridge, nothing crazy layering-wise.
