| (note: the easiest way to play the riff is to start with |
| your first finger on the D string, 2nd fret. After the first |
| two E notes and the note on the D string, move it to the A |
| string, where it remains, until you hit the A chords. After the |
| A chords, place your first three fingers on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th |
| frets of the D string, and pull off one after each note...) |
