  this is

  don't know if it's

  right...

I'm really unsure about *5, so any help or suggestions are welcome.



There are all the main riffs, and there are some transitional 

variations that I didn't tab (mostly some minor slides) that are

easy to figure out.  If everybody has immense trouble with them, I'll

tab them later, but now I'm too lazy...
