Man, that track is one seriously difficult piece to tackle for a beginner. Stick with it but don't expect to be able to play it for at least 2 years. I'm serious. Anyone who can play that piece as it should be played will be ranked as a top class player that has mastered every technique available. Just letting you know what you are in for! Don't be disheartened if it takes two or three months to learn how to play some of the licks.

The opening lick goes like this:

---------------15-19-----19(bend)-19-17--20-17-17-19----
-------------17-----------------------------------------17-17-17-17
----------16---------------------------------------------------------15-15
--------17-------------------------------------------------------------
-14-19------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

etc.

This track is easy in places but the real part that you will find challengeing is the massive set of extremely fast and complicated arpeggios that start about a third of the way in. Mastering them will really help to clean up your technique;-) The most difficult part is trying to maintain the fluidity and absolute clarity that Angelo does.

Good luck!
