Standard "lowered" tuning (2 steps down)

Listen for the timing.. there are a lot of tempo changes in here 
but it should be more or less ok however..

Well, I decided to transcribe this song cause for five long years I haven't
found anyone that could (or would) do it for me.. I think it's one of the most 
beautiful slow songs of the entire heavy metal genre and it strongly "deserves" 
to be listened to, to be transcribed and played.

Riff A (Intro)
RENE
   C5 (x355xx@1)           Bb5 (x133xx@1)           Ab5 (133xxx@4)            G5 (355xxx@1)

Well.. this song is doubled by the 2nd GTR in almost all its parts..

The C5 chord is probably doubled by a low C5, the Bb5 by a high F5,
the Ab5 by a high Eb5 and the G5 with a high D5..

The 10-9-10 melody is probably doubled playing a 5th upper, while the 9-7-9 becomes
a 9-7-10 with the last note on the F string I put between those ..

For the rest of the song I'm going to tab the main guitar riffs, transcribing the 2nd one 
only when necessary (the work would take plenty of time, too much I think..)

Riff B (Main)

(C5)             (Bb5)              (Ab5)                 (G5)

Repeat Riff B doubling the last three notes.. (9-7-9 and 9-7- as before)

Riff C(First (x32010@1)Solo)
