The clean interlude is in a 7/8 time signature, except for the last time when it goes to 4/4 so you need
to play the rest of the chord to complete the bar.
[Riff E MajorE]

The riff behind Dave's solo is basically what you see above minus the higher notes at
the beginning. In their place just let the open DbDb and AbAb strings ring out.
the harmony comes in like this (same ending as Riff FF)

First ending. After a few times around with this
riff, leave out the open notes and tremolo pick your
way through it.
