Guitar Riff 3 (I'm shaky on this oneand this is by no means correct.
This is what I play, it's most likely not what Buzz plays.
Either way, do lots of hammer-ons and it'll probably come
out sounding fine.)

Near the end, Buzz does a little improv on whatever scale he is using
in Guitar Riff One. I'm not exactly ure of it because it's a little hard
to hear. Just mess around.
