    This muted wah riff can't be transcribed. I do it with a lot of palm
    muting with slight distortion while muting an E chord on the A string.
    The same goes for the bits marked x x x in the rest of the intro ...

|     If you play this you will realise it  |
|     is the main riff in the song, just    |
|     throw this in between parts, it's not |
|     hard to work out where it goes but it |
|     is all through the song ...           |

    This is how the main solo starts... I'm not going to transcribe the
    whole thing but this will get you on track, it's an E minor
    pentatonic thing so work round that. Mainly the 1st pos at the 12th
    fret...
