    Cool thing about this riff is that it's not hard to play, it's just really clever! Jared is a perfect example of "play smart, not hard". His increase in tapping on this album really compliments the rest of the music so well and allows him to play stuff that sounds really crazy but isn't too demanding for him to play! Compliments from a fellow death metal bass player dude, I'm impressed!

      Diminished chords are way easier than they appear, for one simple reason - they're totally symmetrical so they are mega easy to learn and visualise
      Plus like Brett said, any time you have a minor chord, just find the 5th degree and take it down one semitone - bob's your uncle, diminished chord!
