This Riff occurs throughout the chorus part, it has a few slight variations, but If this is played it will sound fine. The Low C on the 1st fret of the B-stg. Can be substituted an octave higher. These Riffs make up most of the song.

Let all the Low E's ring throughout the riff. The 19's and 20's mean 19th and 20th fret on the E-stg. Not 1-9. E-Mail me if there are questions.
