This is one of my favorite songs off my favorite Godsmack record thus far. It's pretty cool. Just listen to the CD for timing.

It is the short keyboard instrumental entitled "The Journey", which is right before "The Spiral". It fades (?) in as "Spiral" fades out. The Journey (By Sully and Tony, keyboard arr. for guitar, w/ clean tone, x7) Play it very slowly on the 7th time.
