to play. Make sure you hit the ghost notes.
The verse is similar to the intro, only more straight forward.
The chorus is straight forward. Play the hi-hat with your ride cymbal.
Before verse 2 you play a small intro again, this is similar to the first intro. The
second verse is less broken up.
Play the intro again before the solo. When the solo kicks in, play a straight
forward rock beat.
The ending just builds from the solo. Play different fills throughout the beat.
