Play Part 1 3x and end on first tone

There's actually some backrground humm here, but that should not be

escpecially hard to figure out I use to do the easy things in a song

first, therefore the solos ain't transcribed yet, It'll do without

them right now, they usually take some time to transcribe and i feel

like a sick mushroom right now...

BYE and go on tabbing out your brains
