You're going to put your middle finger on the
10th fret of the second string, your index finger on the 9th fret of the first string,
and you're going to do a forward roll of 5-2-1-5.
The second lick sounds like [D] this.
You want to make a little bar chord over the first and second strings at the 7th fret
with your index finger, and the roll you're going to play is 2-5-1-2.
