PLAY RIFF E 2x 

RIFF G 2x 
(NOTE: THIS RIFF IS VERY SIMILAR TO RIFF E, BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW DIMMU BORGIR  
PLAYS IT TO GET THE SOUND THAT I HEAR IN THE SONG. IT IS PROBABLY INCORRECT IN  
TERMS OF HOW THE NOTES ARE PLAYED, BUT ACCURATE IN TERMS OF WHERE THE NOTES ARE  
PLAYED ON THE STRINGS.)

SOLO-PART 2: 
(NOTE: PLAY SOLO-PART 2 WITH RIFF G. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE SECOND HALF OF THE SOLO,  
ONLY BITS AND PIECES, SO I LEFT SOME LINES YOU COULD WRITE IN IF YOU CAN FIGURE IT  
OUT. GOOD LUCK.)
