Main Riff:
Palm mutes while holding the fingering for the E power chord. Should just
come naturally. This is basically Ted's main riff part, along with Derek St.
Holmes rhythm part through most of the song.

At about 1:25 on the recording I reference (COME ON!!! COME ON!!!) it goes into
a B-A-B-A-B blues rhythm riff of sorts, and again later on in the song:

If you're familiar with Call of the Wild (Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes, '74), it's a similar
groove here, although what I have tabbed out is roughly what I can hear in the background.
Breakdown before main riff repeats:
|----------------------|

|--7--\5-----5---\4----|
|--7--\5-----5---\4----|
|--9--\7-----7---\2----|

Song ends on a Hendrix chord, E7(#9), followed by a few fills on the E scale.
