Or even just pick the 17th and bend up a full step. You could just pick the 19th, but that riff is so monotonous with all that picking the same note over and over... Guitar riff 7 is kind of a joke--it's that one note that's held for the entire verse. In the studio, the Sisters used a synth with an organ sound that's not unlike the lead guitar sound. It's not much fun to pick that one note continuously for that long, so we used a synth, too. Feedback would be a perfect expression of the note if you're so fortunate as to be able to play loudly enough. Guitar 2 plays exactly the same thing as the bass, except where riff 5 or 6 is indicated. Ad lib heavily on guitar riffs 2, 3, and 4.
