Comments:
I will only use the necessary strings for each riff, so be careful to
make sure you're playing on the right strings.
Guitars are tuned in drop-Db. Guitarists are Pat O'Brien and Jack Owen.
I'm fairly sure that Riff A is played underneath practically the entire
song, but it's so hard to hear... In any case, that would make this an
excellent song to play with another guitarist.
Tempo: 100 bpm
