Play this riff 5 times with dive bombs, pick scrapes,
and random hand slides between them.
After fifth time of riff play this

*Keep tremolo picking this chord shape
as you move up each fret until the A string note
is on the 14th fret
After the tremolo picked chords, Eddie does random pick scrapes and jams his strings
into the pickups to create the crazy sound at the end of the song (I think)!
After that, the song ends on a low E note.
Good luck learning the song, please rate the tab and comment on it!!! :)
