very confident that this is the correct way to play it. i can play it right along with
song just the way they do it.
it is tuned to drop D and is played very fast, so watch out.

Intro Part 2
this is played at a low volume for two measures then gets pretty loud. I recommend using
volume pedal, if you don't have one... well nothing has to be perfect.
