First guitar should play first riff 4 times while
Seccond guitar plays the second riff.

Slow down at the last for notes to get fade to the
quiet part

[Quiet Part]

This is easy to play but watch the measure because
it changes all the time from 8/5 to 8/3

Fast solo not included.

I hope this will help you a lot. Besure to study
the bridge first riff and second riff well. If you
can play them well you have an excellent exercise
to warm your fingers before playing.

If you have problems you can Email me at
