Well that's the song! I'm not that sure about the clean part by (1:01) but
it pretty much
sounds like that. E-mail me if you have any comments, questions or others.

This song is very easy to play.  The chorus is a variation of the main riff.
The strumming pattern and timing are just what you need to work on.
