for riff B, I am not going to put the exact # of

times each note is played; this might throw you off if

I put what sounds to me like 4 notes but you thought it was 3,

or whatever.

For example, in riff A you might hear -999-999-

-777-777- etc.

-000-000-

but if you listen closely the chord is played 4 times for

every beat, and when 2 guitars are harmonizing with

a lot of distortion it can be hard to tell how many times

a note is being played...am I making sense? I don't want

to fuck you up, I'll just let you figure it out for yourself.

The whole song is based around a simple triplet rhythm, I

don't know if that helps...

(F) not really. It's just riff D 2 frets higher.

Then play riff A 2 frets higher minus the open E...

I have no idea how they make those relatively high pitched

power chords sound so fucking heavy. There's not much

complicated technique or any lead to speak of on this song...

yet it still kicks ass.
