TUNING: standard EADGBE
Main Intro Riff:
It might not seem like there are this many notes, but the main melody is
emphasized a lot while those other
notes are kind of just like filler, you gotta figure out which notes receive the
accents and more emphasis.
Also, your hand never moves while playing, only your fingers. Use your middle
finger to hold down the
G (3rd fret on low E string) while your other fingers work with the rest of the
riff -- you never lift up
your middle finger, and your other fingers hold the notes as long as they can before they
gotta move to fret some other note. Hope that all makes sense.

hear it play a full cycle once)
