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

This is easy to play but watch the measure because

it changes all the time from 8/5 to 8/3

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.
