I think I've nailed pretty much all the riffs but the outro still bothers me somewhat - it's just too simplistic for Nile! I'm sure there is something else going on but I'm fucked if I can decipher it correctly. Also, if you want the harmonies you can work them out your damn self! I've done the hard work so it's the least you can do!
