How to play the signature riff:
It takes quite some skills and practice to play - just to warn the beginners!
 In the first position, use your thumb the play the bottom notes and
keep your ring finger on the fifth fret on the g-string. Then use your three
other fingers to play the melody notes.
 In the second position, use your ring finger to play the bottom note, place
your little finger on the sixth fret on the h-string and finally do a bar at the
g-, h- and e-string on the third fret with the front of your index finger.



Gtr 1 (D G C F A D) - Steel String, clean
Gtr 2 (D G C F A D) - Electric, Dizzy-overdrive

you can for instance play the solo with the upper octave alone,
play two simultaneously, or make two guitars play an octave each)
