The rhythm guitar part is the hardest of the two. The G, D/F#, C, D chord progression is played arpeggio style.
For this riff, you may want to use your thumb for the “low E” string notes, as it will provide much more ease in playing the riff. The option is still totally up to you though.

This riff is set to 144 bpm (beats per minute).
