In any standard tuning (e.g. EADGBE, DGCFAD) or dropped (DADGBE, CGCFAD) you
can play these riffs on any string. if u start on the low E string slowly and
then play on the 5th  string and back down again, adding a higher string, but fropping the lower each time it sounds cool (as demonstrated below) it sounds cool.

|----0--5--0--7--0--3--5----0--8--0--10--0--7--8----|



Riff 2

|----0--7--0--5--0--3--5----0--8--0--10--0--7--8----|

I'm really sorry if ive over complicated this, its easier than ive 
made it sound. just work out a rythm 4 urself and it'll pretty much 
play itself.

Cheers, rate me if u get a chance.
