This chord also is not necessarily an F#, it could also be a B :) Riff B: w/heavy dist e-------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------- G------8-----8-----8-----8-----8-----8-----8------- D------------------------------------------------9- A--------------------------7-7---7-7---9-9---9-9--- E--7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7--------------------------- Note: Mute all the notes on the A and E strings.
