The timing and strumming for 'Riff 1' varies slightly between repetitions.
I add a 'Am-E-C-E' in every now and then as well.

The mandolin parts tabbed for guitar are obviously only an interpretation,
I don't own a mandolin so I can't say they're 100% correct. The A7 in
'Mandolin 3' could also alternatively be played like an A but with 5th
fret on the 'D ' string. Strum them near the bridge.

After the end of Solo 2 at 02:59 there's not much guitar until solo 3
starts at 03:36 so you can play the bass part until then.
