Take The Reins

[Intro: ]For the intro, you hit the first chord and let it ring, hit itagain and let it ring, then slide to the next chord without actuallystrumming them.I don't know if it's exact but it sounds good when you play along to the song.

Riff 1 
This one is repeated throughout different parts of the song. For the introit's played twice. Awesome riff. I tabbed it all in third postition, it's easierfor me to play like that.
