xMrs. Modern Mother Mary There is only one riff played through the song. The only variations come in tone. In the the riff is played with a tremolo effect. During the choruses, it's played with heavy During the verses, it's clean with wah. This song is really more for the keyboardist the guitarist. I probably would have been better off to tab out all the keyboard parts too. For completeness, I'll add that you precede the riff with a couple of palm muted muffles you start the riff the first time.

There are no other riffs in it, as hard to believe as it may be. repeat this the whole way through with the tone instructions above. Edit: 2015-02-13 The octaves are regularly doubled an octave higher on the D and G strings, and the low notes in the riff are A5 power chords rather than single notes. Other than that, it's the only riff in the song, played in a 9/4 rhythm.
