"Intenacious, intersecting..." etc. The second guitar does a G5 F#5 A5

bit after "culled..." (on the 2nd repetition of the riff) and then, on

the fourth repetition, only G5 F#5

****REALLY IMPORTANT : Riff 3 is played after that, but the second ending is a

****quarter note B5 INSTEAD OF Bb5 into the "truculent shambles" bit...
