Not big into theory yet; my mind hasn't expanded, taken the time, or grasped the complete concept yet, lol

Anyway, i'm looking to the best way to harmonize a riff. I'm sure its based loosely on a scale (only scale I kno completely so far is Am Penta) and it starts out on the box position more or less. I've been told to harmonize u could raise it vertically 1 1/2 steps. What i'm lookin for is advice how to play the same melody up and down the bottom two strings.

If u're confused as to what I mean or I worded it wrong, check out the openin riff to "Trapped In A Corner" by Death. The way it moves up and down the strings with same melody in mind is what I'm aiming for. Any questions, comments, or advice is greatly appreciated in advance. Thanks guys
