      the main riff is played)

when you play this you're just bending the fourth note
up to the fifth and then back down again - sorry for
my poor notation, I'm not sure how to properly tab that


then the last riff

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
whether or not this part is palm muted
I can't figure out.  sounds good both
