Trust me, if you try it enough times you will start to get it (it took me probably over a hundred tries!) If you find that after repeated attempts you are getting worse, it's probably because your fingers are getting tired (this was my biggest problem). If this is the case then take a long break - I found that if my fingers were fresh I did much better. Even taking a few days off entirely somehow allowed my skill to improve when I came back.

does anyone have tips for fingering for the first riff?

I cant use my pinky very well, so that could be why I have problems playing this one

I find it easier to slide earlier and use your index and middle fingers more often:

it help to just keep finger 1 on the green?

i just keep my hand in the G-B key, and when the orange hits i just slide it down and hammer-on

here's what i do

1211(hold down the whole time)21213121234

etc., pretty much the same as JCirri's (great minds think alike, huh)

if you want to hammer on, i suggest strumming the first five notes, then everything is easier than HO/PO ing the whole riff.

I find it best to only use SP during the main riffs. Any other section of the song contains an almost guaranteed miss, so I have the best chance of staying at 8x during the main riffs.
