That's all friends, if you got any trouble playing it, mail me: xemnasaxel14@gmail.com
EXTRA BONUS:
I've learned a different way to play Riff 1 in a video that i watched last week,
this is the only part that is not arranged by me, but i wanted to share it with all of you,
It's easier than mine's, and sounds a little bit different,i like it but, However,
i still prefer to play it my own way :D
