So epic. :) Rhythm not posted. For sections labeled {Part 1} or {Part 2} in a 
certain section of the song, it means they are supposed to be played at the same 
time. {Part 1} is generally the dominant riff of that section.

(This is normally played with orchestral strings, but if you're lacking those then 
you can play this. ;) Rhythm still isn't posted, but I put the one picking 
sequence twice to show that you do two repetitions; it's not a different chord.)
