Riff D
I just can't figure out the keyboard melody. Here's the guitar part :
|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|---4~------3~-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|---4~--5~--3~--/88------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|---2~--5~--1~-------5~--|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|-------3~---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's an ascending chord pattern that is too drenched up with distorsion and keyboards for me to figure out.
Riff E
the keyboards do a little melody over the last bars of the riff. It sounds somewhat like this.
