The first part of the riff is using a clean sound
on the guitar with a chorus effect on it. A chorus pedal (effect)
will double the sound of the note you are playing and put it out
of tune slightly to give the note a full rich sound.

when it plays through the 2nd time you play it on the 1st beat
(move it half a beat forward.
