NOTE for RIFF 6:
5\/
5\/ = First put your whammy bar in a good position near to the high strings.
(Better do it before the songs starts LOL)
Then play that notes as natural harmonics, followed immediately
by a lightly touch to your whammy bar and release it again (fast).

Note for RIFF 8: This next part is really sick and hard to play.
It looks crazy but i think it is close to what
Alex plays.
Pick the lower notes first, followed immediately
by the slides.
I wrote down the way i use my fingers to handle this.
Left hand:
i - index
r – ring
m – middle
