The riff when he starts screaming after "Binding my time..."
B |-1--0-| F#|-1--0-| - let the chords ring B |-1--0-|
Then there is that noisefest part with feedback. Most notes resemble the intro so play around with that. Im sure its a random thing when the band plays it live (if they do...). It kinda reminds me of Kurt Cobain and his feedback-led solos.
Towards the end ("I want my time.. Id rather die..."
B |-7-| F#|-7-| - this chord is played with flanger B |-7-|
"Need Time!" (when Corey goes all psyco!)
B |-00-00-| F#|-00-00-| - Just that chord B |-00-00-|
