This is a pretty fast song, and being thrash metal, that means during certain riffs, there
are a lot of notes played in very short amount of time, making it difficult to hear how the
notes are grouped. So to make it easier, I indicate the grouping I use during some of the
more confusing parts. Hope it saves you some trouble learning this killer song!
