If the intro riff is a bit tough to nail down at that specific rhythm, then try inputting your own stle into it. I think I TABbed it in the timing that Mike plays it in Riff 2 is a bit buried under the verses and is yet to be figured out by me. I will work on it soon. My brain couldn't take the song anymore so I opted to post it as is and get to work on another song off of the album. Riff 3 was very tough to get. I thought it sounded a bit different each time I heard it. I tried it at different EQ settings and I also slowed it down to half-speed with a four-track recorder. I'm hoping this is right. I've watched Mike play it before but, I decided to transcribe it now rather than when the band was on tour and I could actually watch him play it. How stupid can I get! I do vaguely recall him playing it in the A-chord position that I've TABbed it in. I was curious back then and tried to watch. The other parts of the song are very simple to reproduce. Just watch the slight chord placement changes in the chorus.
