If I remember correctly, I transcribed riff 1 one octave lower than played. I like it better like that.

riff2
speed pick

In this key, the Darth Vador theme would be :
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------5-5-55-6----------------------------------
D|---3----6-3---6-3----6-3-----------6------6-3--etc.-----------------
A|------4-----4------4-----------------7--4---------------------------

I wonder if this was done on purpose...

back to riff 3

riff5
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------666666555555------------------------------|
D|--333333333333333344444444------------7777776666633333666666333333--|

then play riff4, riff1, riff2

riff 6a

E|------------------------------------|--------------------------------

riff 6b = riff 6a but slide to G#5 (4th position) instead of B5

then play riff3, riff4, riff3, riff5

end on : E|-----------------------------------------------------------
