INTRO (0:00)
=======================================================
We’ll mostly be using eighth note triplets in 4/4, i.e. 3 evenly spaced notes per quarter note beat.
The riff works like this.

    1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a| 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a|
C#|------------------------|------------------------|
G#|------------------------|------------------------|
 E|-5---5-7---5-5-7---7---5|-5---5-7---5-5---------5|
 B|-5---5-7---5-5-7---7---5|-5---5-7---5-5-7---7---5|
F#|------------------------|---------------7---7----|
C#|------------------------|------------------------|

The chords on the ‘a’s aren’t played super clearly, it’s somewhere between the chord and
playing muted strings. The accents fall on the beat, play those more prominently.
I’ll be writing it a bit more compact to save space and make the tab more readable.
