This is a damn good song. The solo is cool using harmonies in thirds and some fast wide-interval runs. It might be a little hard getting the right feel on the main riff but it helps to plant the index finger across the 9th fret. Just keep it there and the first half of Rhy. Fig 2 is a breeze. The muting will come naturally after a while.
