Auto-scroll

This is for the Fender Custom Shop version of the 'Game Of Thrones' theme. Ramin counts to six, so I guess the song is in 6/8 and not 3/4. Give the video a listen (it starts at the two-minute mark) for timing if you're Rhythm (Scott Ian)

I'll try to add more of the individual parts when I can (e.g. I know Paisley was finger-picking some stuff) and correct any mistakes that I find. Hope you enjoy! ************************************ ~ = Vibrato |---| = Palm mute ************************************
