Ok. A couple of mistakes were corrected. Most totably the slides on the
solo, one of the notes in the main riff and the first part of the bridge was
put onto the correct string (sorry this was my first TAB)
I'm still a bit rough on Riff 2 so I'd appreciate some help there.
I suggest a lot of delay and some distortion (especially at the beginning).
b=bend
r=release
/=slide up
\=slide down
Note: The intro is actually played on another guitar and it continues into
the middle of the first verse.
