Here's some fills that come later on (they're just for the second guitar).
For this part (and the solo), keep swelling the volume up and down. Pick the
string after you turn it down, and right before you turn it up again.
Remember to shake the hell out of each note as you hold it. In case of a
natural harmonic, use a behind the nut bend to achieve the desired effect.
The more you practice it, the better it will sound. :)

RIFF D
These are the chords I use for this part. It's not really how they play it,
but it's good enough. Try experimenting with it (don't strum all the strings
on each chord - I don't). Make up something for the second guitar, I really
didn't feel like figuring out the funky bass line.

And now finally, at the very end right after "this flight tonight", the
second guitar finishes off with
...tonight
|GTR-2-----------------|
|-------------7--|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|-----4----------------|
|-----2----------------|
And I use this to finish off guitar 1 since it's hard to perform a fade out,
it follows RIFF A at the end.
