I slowed this last part to 0.25x speed on youtube and yes, this is really how it goes. It uses triplet
groupings with a few doubled notes which are played twice as fast. This is notated with "e" standing for
and 8th note, "s" for 16th note, and "t" for 32nd *within* the triplets, there being three 16ths in each
triplet.
The rest of the song is just his improvising. Maybe I'll tab the whole thing eventually. At the very end
it repeats the Main Riff and and Riff 1.
