Intro---Guitar 1
The entire intro for this guitar takes place on the lowest Bb string. (It looks hard but
it's much easier once you know the notes)
Bb--12p0-0-h12p0-0-h12p0-0-h12p0-0-h12p0h7p0-h8p0-0-h8p0-0-h8p0-0-h8p0-0-
Bb--h8p0h10p0-h7p0-0-h7p0-0-h7p0-0-h7p0-0-h7p0-h5p0-8p0-0-8p0-0-h8p0-h7p0-0-
Bb--h7p0-0-h7p0.
Play it again, but don't play the "h7p0-0-h7p0-0-h7p0." Play nothing after the "h8p0".
**Guitar 2's part begins HERE** Then play the riff again as it is tabbed, but don't pull
off the last note, so that it ends on the 7th fret.
Intro---Guitar 2
I'm not sure if this is 100% perfect, but it sounds pretty close.

This riff is very similar to the main riff, but it is played entirely on the higher Bb
string (4th string) and has a slight change at the end of the riff.

Then repeat it, but don't play the final note on the 7th fret.
