This strumming (riff 1, guitar 1) goes on in the background pretty much
for the whole song (except the Eb D 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  D  G bit), just move this shape
   | | | | | |      around
   |_|_|_2_|_|
   | | | | | |
   |_|_3_|_|_|
   | | | | | |
   |_|_|_|_|_|

 E  A  D  G  B  e
 x  x  5  4  3  3 - G   } in riff1
 x  x  8  7  6  6 - Bb  }

 x  x 10  9  8  8  - C  }
 x  x 13 12 11 11  - Eb } in break
 x  x 12 11 10 10  - D  }
 x  x 15 14 13 13  - F  }

11 13 13 12  x  x  - Eb }             (or xx5343)
10 12 12 11  x  x  - D  } in chorus   (or xx0232)
 3  5  5  4  x  x  - 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.....
