{in riff 3 you play each powechord twice, you also palm mute each powerchord twice
                     before you change to the next like so...

                            9-9-9m-9m-4-4-4m-4m
                            7-7-7m-7m-2-2-2m-2m

                   and so on, always do this when you play riff 3!!!}



repeat riff 2 & 2a


repeat riff 2a, then 3 (do this twice)

play riff 2 & 2a then 3 then go onto riff 4 (below...)
