E5 F#5 G5

Ok, this song basically has one riff with one permutation. The guitar is the background

instrument of the song, the orchestral stuff takes the forefront (and does an awesome job).

So here it is.

Fade in with an F#5 at 1:03

The main riff involves chugging a muted F#5 with relaxed triplets, then switching down to

an E5, up to G5, then down to E5 quickly. translation: F#5 E5 G5 E5. At 2:05, the rhythm

is altered and it goes F#5 G5 E5. It's simple to follow on the CD.

at 2:53: twice twice

(then 1st part again) three times once

At 5:55, raise the above riff a half step.

That's it !
