{Clean gtr. with delay effect, you don't really need the effect } {The
harmonics are actually played by keyboard and are not
 played the 2nd time.}
{The 5th bar is the replacement for bar 4 the 2nd time the riff
 is played, so it's actually the last arpeggiated chord played;
 strum the chord and listen how it fades with the keyboard
 chord together on the album...}
{For the high notes on top of these chords, see a couple of
 riffs back.}
