Then it changes soft again with the palm mutings and the [5] harmonics.
It just has a different rhythm.

Then the muting rhythm stays and the lead changes to the riff with delays.
It ends with this riff.

After this, play the Heavy Part - Part 1 again. It's the part I was unsure about the right notes.
