Solo Rythm - Guitar I or II

(Numbers after the chord indicates the amount of bars the chord durates.
One bar is four beats. I.e. E5 - 2 mean play an E5-chord (power of course)
and maintain it for eight beats. Simple as hell.) Solo (pick really fast up to I) I

Actual Solo: (Well I'd say it's more of a high pitch guitar version
of Rob's vocals.)

Repeat this once but with the pull-off-trio twice (-12p11p9-12p11p9-)
(One note every 2nd beat) more to the right --

Maintain last note until singing stops.
Rythm Guitar (K.K. I think) plays plays Riff 2 four times and lead guitar
joins on 2nd time (drums 'n bass enters 3rd time). When this done end with
a long-maintained B5 power chord and the tempo drops to guess what.)
Spoken part: Play intro riff eight times.
After spoken part: Riff 1 (Tempo rise of course)
Then comes Pre-Chorus riff TWICE
And finally: Chorus riff many times before fading away.
