First guitar should play first riff 4 times while
Seccond guitar plays the second riff.

Slow down at the last for notes to get fade to the
quiet part

[Quiet Part]

This is easy to play but watch the measure because
it changes all the time from 8/5 to 8/3

Fast solo not included.

I hope this will help you a lot. Besure to study
the bridge first riff and second riff well. If you
can play them well you have an excellent exercise
to warm your fingers before playing.
