I don't have a slide and am not sure what frets are actually reachedwith the opening slides. Judging from several live versions, the actualnotes are completely arbitrary, as long as what you are doing builds to the main riff. muted/distortion/fuzz/the ugliest-messiest sound your equipment can makee---------------------------------|----------------------------------|B---------------------------------|----------------------------------|G--------------------------------x-x---------------------------------|D------5h7-5---------------------x-x---------------------------------|A------------7p6-5-3-5-5p3-------0-0---------------------------------|E--------------------------5-3-5-0-0---------------------------------|

I typically let the open notes ring for as long as possible. I like to playit this way because playing it higher and with sliding into the riff and atthe ends sort of approximates the vocals. Also, the song is plucked not picked, and it lower on the neck(correct position) with a pick makes it nearly impossible to get all the notes in there.Correctly:e------------------------------3-0-----------------------------|B---1-3-1-----1--------------1------5/3p1----------------------|G-2-------1/2---2----------2--------------2--------------------|D----------------------0---------------------------------------|A------------------3-3-----------------------------------------|E--------------------------------------------------------------|
It sounds like there's quite a few other notes in here. I'drecommend hitting as many open stings and other notes as possible, as longas the notes above are easily distinguishable from the rest of what you'redoing, you're doing okay :)e-------------------------0-3-------------|B-------------------1-3-4-----------------|G---------------0-2-----------------------|D---------0-1-2---------------------------|A-----0-3---------------------------------|E-0-3-------------------------------------|Anything from this should work out.

I still have the solo and the transitions back to the main riff tofigure out and I'll add them when I do.
pb pre-bend
fb full bend
b half bend or less
7fb9 = play 7, bend, and strike again "as a 9"
7fb = bend 7->9 and note stops
7fbr = play note, bend to 9, release only striking the note the first time
/ slide up
\ slide down
h hammer-on
p pull-off
~ vibrato
+ artificial harmonic
x Mute note
() Ghost/Guide note - A ringing note, or a note played into the next
quickly by hammer or slide
