Bend the 8th fret note up with your first finger only a little bit to give it some
flavour. Let all of the open string notes ring when playing the lead break.

                 This riff is like a slow walkdown, not a fast paced lick.

After the solo it just goes back to the normal song.

In the Wheels of Fire version, the intro goes like this: |------8-------|-----8-------|---------------8--------| |--8~-(8)------|-8~-(8)------|-----------8~-(8)-------| |----------7h9-|---------7h9-|------7h9----------7h9--| |--------------|-------------|-7h9--------------------| |--------------|-------------|------------------------|
This is E Blues Pentatonic scale. Learn the scale, know this version of the song! Great job.
yaaaaaaay you finally got the rest up! (now gotta print it again) what i do (for the riff-ish thing) is i go up 5 frets and move over a string. it gives it a more bass'ey sound and feels more natural.
