NOTE: Listen to song for rythm on progressions and on solos. I don't
gaurantee this to be perfect. If it IS perfect, I could be sued. Anyway,
print this out in a pixel-wide font (I use Monaco) so you can actually read
the solo parts. And come visit me at "http://www.jesusfreak.com/whirl". I
write album reviews there. Chow.
