What a cool song.... the bass line sounds really great, and it's
not too difficult to play...

I have to admit I didn't made it out all by myself, I had a
little help from my teacher, Mark Hebert.

Intro

Repeat the first two bars four times, then on the fifth time,
skip the second bar to play an open G instead.

Then, you play Riff 2 again to complete the cycle.

This riff sounds so good when done right. It's probably
the hardest riff of the song, but you can easily replace it
with Bridge 2 if you really can't play it.
