Intro Riffing - Riff 1
Loosely based on the opening riffing to "Waiting for the bus",
this to me epitomizes a ZZ Top style hook that gets you diving for the
volume knob and wishing that it went to 15 instead of 10...
Guitar 1
= Black TAB and is the main guitar part
Guitar 2
= Blue TAB and is the secondary guitar.
But this secondary is very important to the sound of the riffing.
Use a pick for this
-
Guitar 1 - Palm mute throughout

This solo is loosely based on the "Cheap Sunglasses" lead break....
The rhythm under it laid out for you below... Take note that the sound
changes here... Both guitars use the same sound, however the rhythm uses
the Front Pickup on the Les Paul, and the Lead uses the Bridge Pickup....
Rhythm riff: Basic layout is below...

Bm which is driven by the
bass...

Hell Raisers Transition
The tempo of this track is slower than "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers", so
I modified the riffing to be more complex to help lessen the speed difference...
Take note of what guitar 2 is doing here... It's important to this
riffing sounding the way it does to the listener.....
Guitar 2: Just mutes and drives
following the root notes of the chords being done by guitar 1...
