|-9-|
|-x-|
|-7-|

then play this

|---|	The drums slowly fade in and so does the pick-
|---|   scratching (low to high). As the pick scratch 
|-x-|   gets louder, guitar 2 joins in and they both
|-2-|   scratch about to the bridge.
|-2-|
|-0-|

Then play riff 1 another 3 times getting progressively slower. Play 9 on E and A about 18 times and on the last
             7
one, pick it and slide all the way down the neck.  BUT DON'T PICK SLIDE!
The bass plays the solo and then you play this closing riff.
