Main Riff (5:12)(play this up to tempo, it's much faster than earlier)

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| (repeat entire section 3x, end on the
first open A note of the last repeat)

It's a pretty simple riff, and the only thing you really need to be aware of is the abrupt change from the
solo riff to a faster version of the main riff at about 5:12.

This is my first tab, so please tell me if I messed anything up.
