I used to hate this song before I learned how to play it on the guitar.
It has some really cool riffs (especially the intro). I gave it a chance
and I'm glad I did because it's really enjoyable to play.

This sounds very correct to me, especially the intro riffs. It's a very easy and fun song
to play. If you have any trouble at all, feel free to email or IM me about anything.

And when you have the three last notes in the intro riff, bar your finger over the 3rd
fret and have your fingers on the power chord but you strike the two strings then the last two.

As always, suggestions, comments, questions or anything else imaginable is always welcome
