This is an awesome guitar piece that is really fun to learn, but it's pretty tough to get it up to
speed.  The tempo is about 140 bpm, and the time signature is 2/4.  There isn't really a key, it's
mostly chromatic.  It helps to hear the song before you try to learn it, so you can get the feel
for it.  Good luck.
