DIO - Straight through the heart
--------------------------------
The riffs depend heavily upon the drums. Getting the timing right is crucial.
Viv plays the BRIDGE a little differently each time, and both rhythm guitar tracks differ from each other.
I just TABbed how it sounds the first time out. Personally, I like to play a consistent "gallup" rhythm over
it.

x = muted/"dead" note
h = hammer-on legato
p = pull-off legato
b = bend
b(#) = bend (to note)
r = release bend
§ = pause/stop note/silence
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
~ = vibrato
[#] = artificial/"pinch" harmonic at [note]
PM = palm muting
The following segment (which repeats all over the song):

Can also be played as follows. It sounds more "metal" to me,
but it also makes the bend harder to pull off:
