Solo
Guitar 1 plays Riff 2 with palm muting throughout most ofthe solo, then
drops out a little bit before riff 3 comes in. If you listen to the
song, you should be able to figure it out.
If you have the Hal Leonard book for this album, subtract 2 frets from every
note played in the solo (and all the little fills). That puts you in the
right key (D).

Guitar 2 plays a D with lots of muting and scratching, growing louder and
louder until the chorus. Played like this:
