IN OTHER WORDS, PLAY THESINGLE NOTES ON THE "E" STRING INSTEAD OF THE POWER CHORDS LISTED BELOW,BUT ONLY IN "VERSE RIFFS 1 & 2", "CHORUS RIFF 1", AND "RIFF 3". THE OTHERRIFFS SHOULD BE PLAYED AS LISTED BELOW.Verse Riff 1:------------ e--------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------
