Tuning: Drop D kind of [ D A D G A D ]
If you don't feel like changing the tuning then just play the notes on the 3rd string 2
lower
Listen for rhythm, changes in dynamics, etc.
Intro Riff 1
I think the beginning is played by a cello or violin. There might be some guitar notes
out, too. Play something like this at different octaves.
