The only hard part is the pull-off lick really. Riffs that have a and b parts are played at the same time (usually a is by Paul and b is by Ace). Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t^ = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Riff 1a (intro) Eb|---------------------------------------------------------| Bb|--5---5--------------------------------2--2--2--2/4------|
