Song: Hamburger Train

Notes:
– These are just the basic outlines of the riffs
– Add alot of fills (pops, chords, mutes, taps, hammer-ons etc.)
– Played on a 6-string but can be played on a 5
– Played on a fretless (I think) so the notes aren’t perfect
– Use medium distortion
– This is played pretty fast
– Add alot of variations!!!
