E Riff in Eb

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

Using yesterday's Eb tuning, we'll use typically-E open chords and voicings to play in Eb. If you compare the same riff in E and in Eb, you'll notice that the lower tuning may seem "darker" and possibly easier to play, due to looser strings:

     Eb5   Gb Db Eb5   A5 Ab5

Gb|--------------------3--2--|
Db|--2--2--0--0--2--2--3--2--|
Ab|--2--2--2--X--2--2--1--0--|
