This strumming (riff 1, guitar 1) goes on in the background pretty much
for the whole song (except the Eb MajorEb D MajorD G+G 'chorus' bit). Over the top of it
alternates between guitar 2 playing riff 2 and guitar 3 playing riff 1
over again.

chords :

Most of the strumming is done on the top four strings only
  x_x________
  | | | | | |   so for everything except the 'chorus'
  |_|_|_|_1_1   (Eb MajorEb D MajorD G+G bit), just move this shape
  | | | | | |   around
  |_|_|_2_|_|
  | | | | | |
  |_|_3_|_|_|
  | | | | | |
  |_|_|_|_|_|

 3 5 5 4 x x - G+G }

/ is slide up
\ is slide down
h is hammer-on
p is pull-off

7pb(8)r7 is fret at 7, pre-bend to 8 then pick and release bend

 --/--- is a strum
 --x---- is strum but mute the strings at the neck


there's still something not quite right with this, any improvements
welcome.....
