Comments:

I will only use the necessary strings for each riff, so be careful to

make sure you're playing on the right strings.

Guitars are tuned in drop-Db. Guitarists are Pat O'Brien and Jack Owen.

I'm fairly sure that Riff A is played underneath practically the entire

song, but it's so hard to hear... In any case, that would make this an

excellent song to play with another guitarist.

Tempo: 100 bpm
