- They play this live with an electric, an acoustic and a bass (+ drums) So maybe if you have
  some friends to play this with you could each play chords and riffs so it sounds "heavier".
- When playing chords instead of riffs, slide through them, don't pull.
- It's easy to end of E5, but it's better if you slide to Cadd4/E and stop in a fraction of a second
