Our other guitarist does the lead, so I've never bothered to learn it (and therefore haven't included it :-) Picking style is key to the percussive sound of this piece. Under each section I have placed the following symbols: ^ indicates picking with an upward motion v indicates picking with a downward motion With a little practice, you can get a smooth up/down pattern esatblished, and it stays the same throughout the song.

You can, of course, play both with your pick) Repeat the break between |: and :| twice, then go back to the clean part (same as the very first section). Play it 4 times, hit the distortion, and play the same as the first verse until the fade... Have fun, MH++ -- Michael J. Hoffman, Mfg. Eng. Encore Computer Corporation [email protected] 100 N.
