Riffs 2:

The other guitar plays this along with this solo.
I figured out two ways to play it.
This is one way:

E-----------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A-2-------2-------2---2-4-5--2-------2-------2---2-5-4
E-0--0-0--0--0-0--0-0-0-2-3--0--0-0--0--0-0--0-0-0-3-2
     pm      pm    pm            pm      pm    pm

This is the other way:(choose the one you like more)

Basically both are the same
