Bullet Ride - In Flames, question about opening Options

[Eliot A]

K, So im rather new to guitar. I can do some stuff, but the more complex stuff escapes me. I was curious what makes the main riff sound like it does.

Couldn't find a non-live version that was the song, so I found one with an animation. Didn't wanna post the song cuz of legal troubles.

Also the tab for the opening lick is this.

The second guitar doesn't seem the most predominant, but it could be the sound I'm looking for. Hard to explain, for me at least. But when I play it, guitar 1, it sounds awful. Any insights at all? Or is this the wrong forum or just plain not wanted here.
