The two muted notes on the E string are occasionally played through Riff 3
so you can either listen for them in the song or just throw them in there
randomly like I do. :D

A |-----11~~~~~~-----------|

NOTE: On the last, and only on the last, repeat of Riff 3, play
this note eighth a beat after the last (11) on the A sting and
let it ring for a good measure or two. Do not play the (89) on
the D string or the (xx) on the E string.
