(n) Ghost note
x Dead note
 
*****************************
 
Anyone who has a guitar with dual volumes and a 3 way selecter can do the scratching.
You have to turn one volume all the way down and keep the other up this will allow your
selecter to act like a kill switch, then as you're rubbing your hand across the strings to
make the scratch sound you kill it and start it with your selecter. You have to time
the two perfectly to get that perfect DJ sound but remember most of the rhythm is in the
selecter (your kill switch).
 
The rest of the song is just part 1 followed by the intro.
