The notes are prettyspot-on, however, because some of the bars are quite "busy" (i.e. 16th and 32nd notes) I haven't been able to space it out exactly - you'll have to listen for some of the rythms (I've done the hard part for you). Probably best to work through the fills (bars 37,41,45,49 & 53) before attempting the entire song. Enjoy - its a top tune. julianwathen@hotmail.com
