Note: the riff essentially begins with the last bar of the preceding section. So from
the fourth bar of E(5)
here, or from the eighth bar of Verse 1. Play one more bar of palm muted open E's before
beginning the verse.
But when using it for the solos, the first bar notated here is the first bar of those
sections.
