This is a 3 bar phrase made up of 2 bars of 4/4 followed by a bar of 3/4. Listen to the melody as there are hammered on

Go back to the intro, this time when the band comes in there are drums and bass but it’s the same riff
When the lead melody is played the 2nd time it ends this way:
e|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------|
C#|--------------------------------|---12---10--12---------------|-----------|
F#|---12--10---10--12--10--9h10----|----------------12--10--12---|------10---|
D|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|--12-------|
F#|--------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------|
D|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------|
The last bar here is a bar of 1 beat.
Repeat the whole lead melody section, building in intensity and switch to distortion after a few repeats. That’s it!
Also the saxophone line that starts at 2:30ish starts like this:
e|----------------------------------------4-----5---2------------------------|
C#|----------------------------3------0-3------------------------------------|
F#|---7----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------9-7--6------------------------------------------------------|
F#|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
