This song takes a little practice to
 get the feel for some of these 
riffs.
Riff.1 should be easy to pick up and
 the solos are really easy.  Have 
fun
with this one and get someone to 
play the acoustric riff while you 
try to
tackle the electric riffs.  It 
should sound pretty nice when 
complete.
