Next comes the Jam, which is pretty much Em to D. Towards the end, it starts alternating the Em to D part with a C to D to Em part:

C D Em Em C D Em Em Em D Em D Em D Em D

Not sure how Phish decides when to kick into this part:

C D Em C D Em 4x 4x 8x 4x 4x 8x P P P P P P E-15-12----|-17-14----|-19-15----|-15-12----|-17-14----|-19-15----|

| E----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------| *

This goes back and forth between this pattern and the Em to D part a few times, then when Trey decides to end the jam, he plays the pull off pattern untill the point marked *, there he plays 4 whole step bends on the 22 fret
