D chord stuff: H. verse, Vicarious intro and bridge, 0:54, Forty Six & 2,

Rolling across first three strings: verses of Hooker With A Penis, 1:43, Vicarious, Jambi, 4:28, The Pot
Rolling hammer-ons/pull-offs (often, the above riffs with a/b/c/d are as such): 6:24, Schism, :28, Rosetta Stoned (the verses), 2:08, Eulogy

Bending with string behind nut: 2:38, The Grudge **

Around 2:23 of Rosetta Stoned is a riff very similar to something I heard earlier...it sounds a bit like the verse riff of Bottom, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. **

** Included because these are particularly uncommon, used once, caught my attention, etc.

It's interesting for me, as a guitarist, to see his progression between albums--there are definitely riffs that he has evolved to use a lot over the years, and other ones that only appear once in a song and really "make" the song for me. I hope this helps any players here who are stuck on something, or just those interested in knowing about what he does. I am considering making a demonstration video to cover all of these. It has taken me a while to get them all nailed down (most recently I've picked up the slide/delay stuff from Stinkfist and Third Eye) and I feel like it might help those who are curious.

Breathe in Union!
