(then you do these like vamp/arpeggio sort of things on a open E and a

(then play that same chord progression that goes with the verses,
but faster and with more authority)(after that part os finished, hit a open E major
and the main E riff below is played 4 times. There is no set amount of beats for when
you play the riff. Its freetime I suppose...)
main E riff--

B|--5-----5-5--4-5-7-----9-| (play some sort
G|-4----------4----------9-| of E chord or note)
D|-----------------------9-|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
Then, after the above riff was played 4 times, go right in this next part,
which is the riff from above, but with more notes added to it.
