This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

It's played at the Lowlands and is just break for Shavo, Serj and John while

Daron is playing it! I'd try to play it right after you you've played "the prison

song" cause Daron also did it! After that "Know"!

I wrote down the whole picking pattern because it's the easiest way

to play it!HAVE FUN WITH THIS EASY TAB!
