PM means Palm Mute. The riffs are presented in order of appearance.

RIFF A is the intro riff. They play around with palm muting in different
parts of the riff throughout the song.

RIFF B is the verse/solo riff. RIFF A is also played during these times.
Listen to the song. You'll know the difference between the two. Also RIFF B
is palm muted sometimes.

RIFF C is the bridge riff.. very cool riff IMHO.

Any other time in this song when you're not sure what's going on, just play
the G D# A# F chords (RIFF B).

As for the solo.. Just play something.. don't matter what, no need to tab
something like that out.. be creative!

Enjoy!
