Now for Randy's famous Main Riff, the way I play it (and I advise a lot of alternate picking
for the A-string notes):
e -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 0-----00----------000--------------000---------------000---------0--------------------420

Now repeat the following Line Seven Times

D --------------7----------------6----------------4----------------2------------2--------
A 0-----00----------000--------------000---------------000---------0------------0--------

To play this fill to Randy's speed, Alternate picking is essential.

(this is hella sweet)
I reccoment to listen to the the solo as you learn it;
it will make the noise make more sense.
The tapping in this section is two very fast taps that almost sound as though they were
only one tap, when first learning this solo i recommend only tapping once each time.
e -T--T----p------T--T----p------T--T----p------T--T----p-----

Here in this next bit, you could continue hammering on and pulling off the 10 and 12
and slide your hand in-motion to the 9 and 11, or use your tremolo (sissy stick) to
get the same sound. Your call.

The big secret to play this line right is to practice it until you
and your fingers know it right, then try to match the speed.

The "R" is for your tapping finger to pull-off the note as your left hand
may be used to doing, only this is done with your right hand tapping finger.
In the following lines Randy made his sound by tapping the same fret between
consecutive hammer-ons and pull-offs.
