The song starts out with Lead Fig. 1 alone 2x, then the band joins in. The
song goes on like that for many measures until.

Many variations occur, especially at the bending parts.
During Lead FIG 2, guitar 2 continues to play Rhythm FIG 1
The song then goes back to Rhythm FIG 1 and Lead FIG 1 playing together until
///Rhythm FIG 2\

That doubles LEAD FIG 1 as you can tell.
Heres the other riff guitar 1 plays towards the end.

The song rotates around those riffs. If you listen to it you should easily be
able to find the proper rhythm, as well as when to play each part. I wont lie
to you, the song was very easy to transcribe, it took me about 15 minutes to
write the entire tab, i dont think its very difficult. LISTEN TO IT
