Song structure:
Riff1 (x4) -> Riff2 (x4) -> Riff1 (x2) -> Riff2 (x4) -> Riff3 ->
Riff1 (x2) -> First solo -> Second solo -> Riff2 (x4) -> repeat
Riff1 + Riff4 (background guitar) till the end.
Notes:
*1 : only before the chorus
*2 : "wide" ("open") sound
*3 : this armonics can be done in many ways and in other strings (for
example a 5h. on the 4th string): this depends on your own way
of playing.
*4 : go down with the bar and play hard
*5 : same as *3
*6 : it could be the prevoius 0 h. (3rd string) played soflty at a=20
different distance from the bridge (it depends also from the=20
disposition of the pick-ups... but this is another story).
*7 : slightly muffled
