Play the Intro riff 1x and then the Riff A 6x and then at the end of the sixth time you switch to Riff B.

Intro riff 1x and Riff A 1x, then this second alternation of Riff A: G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5----------5----------------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------7--0h5h7------------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 4. The last 0h5h7 is the Intro riff just in the end, and then Riff A 2x. Riff B is after that 2x, and should be blended in when you end that last thing (Nr. 3) 5. Middle: A couple of E-3 which then slides into E-15 and at the last notes he bends it or hammers on a near note (16) or something, with a small backslide at the end. Just fiddle around with it. 6. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, with a slide at the end of the last time. 7. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x 8. Intro riff 1x and then this alternation of Riff A: / * \ G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5-----22-22-22-\------------------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| * = triplets somewhere down there at 22 or something, with a slide down. 9. Intro riff 1x and once again an alternation of Riff A: G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5---------------------------------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7----5--6---------------------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 10.
