It's not 100% correct, but it sounds very close to the record. I'm unsure about the A# after the descending notes...couldn't figure it out better. 2nd Riff (4x)
G|----+5+--------+7+--------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--x6__-------x5__---------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
During the scratching part, you can just play along the root note on the second and fourth beat:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------10_\----10_\----10_\----10_\-----------------------------------------|
The whole song just alternates between these riffs. | \ Slide Down | _ Let ring | +n+ Natural harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
