We have an official El Scorcho tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
You basically are just playing the power chords from the chorus, but you pick the
individually.  And it just repeats through the whole song.  Sometimes you can palm mute it
verses or just pick more softly to make it more quiet and let it roar during the chorus,
the second guitar plays the power chords for rhythm.  I guess you could also play it
and then switch to distortion.  Remember to give that certain string some vibrato.

power chords here and there against the lead I think.)

I don't know if this is how Rivers plays the main riff, but I find it easier to play: [tab] Eb|----------------2~---| Bb|-----2~--------------| Gb|--------------2---2--| Db|---2---2----0--------| Ab|-0-------------------| Eb|---------------------| [/tab]
you dont need to tune this a half step down just move everything a fret down
Eb|------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------| Gb|--------6~-----------11~------| Db|------------------------------| Ab|------7---7-------12-----12---| Eb|----5----------10-------------| slide it up, sounds smoother
