 chorus.  Pick the 2 32 times, and the 5 & 7 16 times, along with the double bass.
 They do some fast runs around and in-between this basic pattern, which I couldn't figure
 out, but this is the foundation for it all.

After the interlude they go into some wacky riff that I could not get.  However, I believe
there is a second or third guitar playing a muted F#5 rhythm under it all, which sounds
good.


 ending riff.  end the song with an A5
