main riffs and variations on the top and solo's are at the bottom
/:slide up (multiple up or down slide marks means slide a bit slower)

These are all the riffs and you can tell where they go in
the song (I all ready mapped out 1/2 of the song). This is
a hard, but fun song to play, please leave comments!
Tell me if you think it's wrong. Thanks!
