Since you got the idea about this part, you'll play it again during
the song (where's heard),using the same notes but not as many times
you've played them before...Just listen to the song and memorize this
part real good...A hint!Break this part into many partitions.
Ok,continue as shown below and then jump to the part above
Repeat 2 times

SOLOs
Just find the right scale and do a lot of Legatos and you'll get a
pretty good result!
After the solo there's an easy part
Repeat 2 times
