The next two bars follow the same pattern, then Joe blows us away with
his musical inventiveness (sarcasm, sorry; I couldn't compose it) by 
repeating Riff C one octave up, which I play as...

    .5

D-----------------------------------14-14-------------------------|--
A-----------------------------------------------------------------|--
E-----------------------------------------------------------------|--

I think he repeats this Riff one more time, then hits an E barre chord
for about four bars or so, it's either x799xx or x799(10)x I can't 
decide at the moment.   Then (cool bit coming!)...

  Riff D

This bit repeats in a similar way (the different bit is where he goes up
for the high A - the second time it doesn't go down below E at 12th
fret, but heads back up again).
Then Riff A reappears.
Add solo here -->
At the end of the solo, something akin to this happens:
