The song ends with riff A, bending those high E notes when coming to
the song's completion.
Guitar:
During the chorus, the guitar just follows the bass with powerchords. During the verses one guitar is playing along with the bass with just single notes. Another guitar plays this basic riff with lots of variations and wild picking (listen to the song):

after a while it slides up

At some point there's a long bend on the 11th fret of the G string.
