That part is played by the bass, in fact i wrote BASS INTRO (00:01 - 00:18).

I would definitely transpose a couple of the notes on this riff: e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|-4-5--2-4--------2-2-2----------------------| D|-----------5--5--------4-4-4--5-5-5-4-----2-| A|--------------------------------------5-----| E|--------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|-4-5----4-----------------------------------| D|------7----5--5--7-7-7-4-4-4--5-5-5-4-------| A|--------------------------------------5---7-| E|--------------------------------------------| It's just more efficient for your hands and fingering, especially coming out of verse 2 into the pre-chorus and again coming out of interlude 3. I find its much easier due to where your hand and fingers already are on the frets, before going into the riff. Good job all around though :)
