The basic idea is that you have to thrill (that is, to make pull-off's and hammer-on's as quickly as possible) with the index finger of your left hand in the first fret on the 6th string while independently playing the rhythm bellow (indicated by the x) with your right hand. As with all the other riffs, listen to the CD to get it right. Play the notes represented by normal numbers normally.
