#Song Notes:
#Listen for palm mutes and pick scrapes. They are quite evident. If you don't
#know how to do a pick scrape correctly you just take your pick and go from the
#bridge (tail piece) and scrape your pick, holding it perpendicular to the
#strings, to the headstock. Timing is also easy so you should pick right up on
#it. Just listen. Easy enough. :)
