Quarter Note = 132
The main riff is solid and heavy with a throbbing sixteenth-note pulse. Randy`s practice was to make the guitar sound as thick as possible by multitrack overdubbing. The riff here is the main part but others are overlapped in the mix to double the Gm power chord.

This instrumental interlude has another sixteenth-note riff as its motive. The move to the key of D minor is a standard harmonic gesture employed in baroque and classical sonata forms. This time, tricky double-stop pulloffs and hammerons are added to the sixteenth-note pulse for some extra complexity.
