(sorry, wierd problem with the computer. disregard those two slide
symbols. slide is 1 (ONE)of the slide things. slide slow is 3 (THREE)even though
it shows more than that i hope your're not confused. but you'll have to listen to the song
by youself and get the timing right. If you don't own The Wall than
you can just visit AllFloyd.com and they have this song along with some
other really great floyd tunes. when you get there just go to their
gallery and then go to Sounds of Floyd.)
