(3:00) As fast as possible. Keep 14 bent then "tremelo pick"
(v/.fast) the e and B strings release the 14 after a few strums.
Same with the B and G string the "_________" means
keep that string bent and strum both as fast as possible.
A soft plectrum may help but I find it hard to do this as fast.

I'm not completely sure if I have got the hang of this rock
interlude There's loads going on and I'm rubbish with chords.
Does anyone know any better what goes in here?
Interlude: I Use Power chords they are quicker.
Although I think the chords might be Em and B7.
Palm Mute and strum occasionally for a percussive effect.
2 Guitars (I think)
You could probably play all of this on one though.
