Listened to this song a LOT of times to figure all this out. Made heavy use of live clips on YouTube, slowing them down to half speed to check exactly which notes are being played. Mainly used this instagram video to figure out the lead parts: https://www.instagram.com/p/CaLlMamDbUg/ Any feedback/corrections are appreciated! [Intro] 0:00 - 0:41
