This strumming (riff 1, guitar 1) goes on in the background pretty much
for the whole song (except the Eb D G 'chorus' bit). Over the top of it
alternates between guitar 2 playing riff 2 and guitar 3 playing riff 1
over again.

Most of the strumming is done on the top four strings only

/ is slide up
\ is slide down
h is hammer-on
p is pull-off
7pb(8)r7 is fret at 7, pre-bend to 8 then pick and release bend
--/--- is a strum
--x---- is strum but mute the strings at the neck
there's still something not quite right with this, any improvements
welcome.....
