2. After that one time you switch back to the Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, then
at the end of Riff A you switch to Riff B 2x, then the Intro riff followed
by this altered Riff A:
G-|———5—8—5—5—5———5—8—5—10————5—————|
D-|—0h5h7———7—5——0h5h7—————7-7-7—5——————|

3. Intro riff 1x and Riff A 1x, then this second alternation of Riff A:
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 A 2x.
Riff B is after that 2x, and should be blended in when you end that last
thing (Nr. 3)
5. Middle:
A couple of E-3 which then slides into E-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 A 2x, with a slide at the end of the last time.
7. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x
8. Intro riff 1x and then this alternation of Riff A:
/ *
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 A:
G-|———5—8—5—5—5———5—————————————|
D-|—0h5h7———7—5——0h5h7—-5—6———————————|
A-|————————————————————————|
E-|————————————————————————|
10. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 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.
