Auto-scroll

This part is what Matthew plays for the most of the song. I haven't figured out his lead part yet. But I'm sure someone will. I'll also note Caleb's part on it too. There is a third studio guitar. But I haven't added it into the tab. it mostly just does the into part like Matthew. Intro & Verse 1
