There are two riffs, #1 corresponds to Ian's vocals.
#2 corresponds to the "background" (dunno the English word)
You'll have to figure out the rhythm for yourselves, the best source to aid is
imo the 2nd JD Peel Session.

When playing alone, switch from one riff to another (assuming that you are not
capable of playing two guitars simultaneously :)
