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

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
