That I know of, the bass mirrors the guitar all the way through one octave lower
 (except the solo of course).
Intro - 3 swords draw, then scrape together

Verse 3 is like the previous 2.
  After the chorus, play Riff A1, fading over the guitar solo,
 which I again did not bother to learn.  There's the majority of the song anyway.
