The 10$ i tabbed doesn't get played on the first repeat, so it throws off the timeing for the rest of the riff. If you keep that in mind, this riff will sound good and it's fun to play) |-------|----------------------------------------------| |-------|----------------------------------------------| |-------|o--------------------------------------------o| |-------|o--------------------------------------------o| |-------|----------------------------------------------| |-030507|--0-12012-10-12-0----12-10-13-13-10-10$-12----| |-----| |-----| |-----| |-----| |-----| |-0-0-| ...Use the parts of the main riff during the verse.
