Adding Final Touches to the F# Riff

If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.

We're going to thicken up this riff by adding a root-octave to the power chords. Slide your ring and pinky fingers up or down the neck while playing the open Low E note:

F#5 A5 B5
e|--------------------------
B|--------------------------
G|--------------------------
D|--4--4--4--/--7--/--9--\--
A|--4--4--4--/--7--/--9--\--
E|--2--2--2--0--5--0--7--0--
