Something odd with the formatting is duplicating all

The Interlude is interesting. There are two bass parts going,
the high Ds over and over like the Intro, plus the underlying
notes on the low D string. You can play them both if you finger
the high Ds and then hammer the low D-string notes with your
other hand. It's a bit tricky.

This part also uses a Whammy...set it so that when
you rock forward it bends the pitch down one octave.
Make sure your timing is right!
