hey guys this is the tab for the fast intro that fades in after the piano and acoustic
part. The entire thing uses constant alternate picking and played EXTREMELY fast the entire
time.
Enjoy!!

Well, there it is.
i hope this helped although its really complicated (what else is new, Dream Theater?)
be warned: playing it up to speed is WICKED hard, so dont expect to get it on your first try.

Since the first time I posted this song, over the summer of 2010 I went to Connecticut at
the National Guitar Workshop where I had the opportunity to meet John Petrucci, ask him questions
and such and I asked him about this song as promised. Basically, this is my direct interpretation
from John Petrucci when he personally taught me how to play it.

this is MY interpretation so it may not be exact to every single note, but this is as close
as I can get it to perfect.

GOOD LUCK
