In the beginning the song starts with some weird fade in. It's a guitar synth and almost impossible to figure out, anyways so I tried to come up with the closest thing that would simulate this guitar synth with the echo. Intro Echo |-------------------------3---3-------7--| |---3---1---1---1---1h3-1-3---3-1---3-7--| |---0---0---0---0---0---0-------0---0----| GTR III |----------------------------------------| |-2---2---2---2---2---------2-----2------| |----------------------------------------| It's probably no where near to what is actually happening, but it's good enough. After all if you were to play this song live, you probably wouldn't even include this part. Anyway, that riff repeats and fades in. Then the Intro Echo continues to play until otherwise stated.

Remember that the same riff at the beginning of the song is still being played, but because of over layering it sounds like New Echo Riff. Now play Riff B with the following(I'll write down the first part of Riff B so you understand how to play it, I'll even include the New Echo Riff)
