  NOTE ON Riff 6: I don't think what I have listed above is exactly how this
  part is played, but I can't figure it out just by listening. It sounds
  like there may be two guitars playing two different things here, and that
  they may be using a slide instead of a bend. Another suggestions as to how
  you might play this part:
