========================================

NOTES:

-Turn your metronomes to 140 bpm for this one. 
-The x's stand for 8th rests. 
-The bassist on the recording makes some variations from 
what I wrote down especially the second or third time through. 
-But this should give you a good idea of what it's supposed to 
sound like.
-His chorus riff is pretty weird with the rhythm even though 
it's almost all eighth notes. It makes sense after a while.
