	During the slide, make sure that your one finger is still
	holding the 3rd fret on the A string.

The first time through, do not play anything.  Come in with the lead
on the second time.

	On your first time through this, palm mute as heavy as you can.  On the second
	time through play it open, slowly building in intensity to bring you into the
	outro.

	is playing.

Claudio has the Theremin going for most of the outro, but I don't feel like taking all
the time to tab out a minor part.  There isn't a solid melody to it, it's mostly improv.
