Then through the solo it's just the RIFF four times,
an A, a G, and the riff eight times.
* Instead of A then G, you can play A (x0222x), B, Db, D instead which
follows the bass line instead of the guitar. (You can play the A that
way anytime, but I think it's easier to slide to the G if you go ahead
and play it on the fifth fret.)
