(C) Riff
Note: All riff notes have varying note lengths not shown in this tab and are a guide
only to help users.
Please Note that most of the song has great riffs and are easy to play along with the
strum patterns.
If I was to write this in a Pro tab, the first riff starts with a rest.
I want it easy to read for users and take up the least page space, I have broken the
riffs up
in sections for easy learning.
