Most, of the song is improvised riffing, mainly working with the 10th and 12th frets on the A
and D strings, and the 14th fret on the D string. There is a slide up between the words 'midnight' and
'searching' at the end of each verse. After each of these slides, there is a distinct riff (Key Riff)
that uses the same strings as the ones used for the improvised riffing.
