Ok, riff 2 is played by a differant guitarist, who
isn't in drop D. It's the only riff with no 
distortion. Riff 9, the first solo, consists of 
higher pitched finger tapping and slow bends. The
part tabbed is only the first part. Play it very fast
and it should sound right. Other than that riff, the 
tab sounds perfect. I hope so anyway.This is the 
original version of (sic), in case you didn't know.
