Opening riff
(played once - ring out holding the first fret of the A string and open

 low E string
lead plays the next riff.  then hit the same chord muted)


Section 05
(you'll notice that the last half of this riff isn't really a riff.  
it's basically just
bunch of counterpoint notes and chords you'll hit during the riff the 
lead plays over
repeat however many times needed!
