  Notes: RIFF X is generally a group of similar riffs, whereas
         RIFF X1, RIFF X2, etc are the actual 'riffs'.

         e.g. RIFF X contains a list of similar riffs/variations, even though
         some parts may be played at different times during the song.

         "->" followed by a particular riff, indicates when to actually play
         that riff/part of a riff.


  Notation:
  .  - palm mute                ~  - vibrato
    - slide down               b  - bend
  /  - slide up                    f  - full
  h  - hammer on                   h  - half
  p  - pull off                    r  - release
  <> - artificial harmonic      () - let ring
  T  - tap                      tr - trill
  {3}- triplet                  NH - natural harmonic
