1. Play the Intro riff 1x and then the Riff 6x and then at the end of the

[E]-|--3h5-----3h5---------5---3-----3h5---------5---5---3-------------------|
[G]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[D]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[A]-|------3--6--3---3---3-------3--6----------------------------------------|
[E]-|--3h5---------5---3-----3h5-------3--3----------------------------------|
2. After that one time you switch back to the Intro riff 1x, Riff 2x, then
at the end of Riff you switch to Riff 2x, then the Intro riff followed
by this altered Riff :
[G]-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5---10------------5---------------|
[D]-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------------7-7-7--5------------------|
[A]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[E]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[G]-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5/85-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------|
[D]-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------|
[A]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[E]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
3. Intro riff 1x and Riff 1x, then this second alternation of Riff :
[G]-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5----------5----------------------|
[D]-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------7--0h5h7------------------------|
[A]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[E]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
4. The last 0h5h7 is the Intro riff just in the end, and then Riff 2x.
Riff is after that 2x, and should be blended in when you end that last
thing (Nr. 3)
5. Middle:
couple of -3 which then slides into -15 and at the last notes he bends
it or hammers on a near note (16) or something, with a small backslide at
the end. Just fiddle around with it.
6. Intro riff 1x, Riff 2x, with a slide at the end of the last time.
7. Intro riff 1x, Riff 2x, Intro riff 1x, Riff 2x, Riff 2x
8. Intro riff 1x and then this alternation of Riff :
/ *
[G]-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5-----22-22-22-------------------------|
[D]-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------|
[A]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[E]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
* = triplets somewhere down there at 22 or something, with a slide down.
9. Intro riff 1x and once again an alternation of Riff :
[G]-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5---------------------------------------|
[D]-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7----5--6---------------------------------|
[A]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[E]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
10. Intro riff 1x, Riff 2x, Riff 2x, and then this ending:
[G]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[D]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[A]-|--15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---6---3-----|
[E]-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
not sure if it's 6-3, but it's close enough.
