There are 2 backup riffs because there are 2 solos. The first one is right I think, but the other goes:





E:-----------------------------------------


B:-----------------------------------------


G:7---------------------------------------


D:7-------5------2-------3-------5------


A:5-------5------2-------3-------5------


E:---------3------0-------1-------3------





Also the second harmony part for the main riff is:





E:--------------------------------------------------------


B:--------------------------------------------------------


G:-------------7-----------------------------------------


D:9-7h9p7h9---9-7h9p7h9-9------------------------


A:---------------------------------9-9~-9-10-9-10~---


E:--------------------------------------------------------

The intro is slightly off, guitar two is hitting the wrong frets, I know this because If you listen closley to the song, guitar two doesn't match guitar one too much. instead try this.


e


b


g


d 5 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 2 3 5


a 5 3 2 3 3


e


And get someone to play guitar one for you, you will hear the difference, but you are a truly talanted guitarist.
