Band - Avenged Sevenfold
Song - Sidewinder
I played this song over and over trying to perfect the score. This sounds correct, but if
you have any suggestions or corrections, just shoot me a "nice" email. Also, in the
Breakdown (Part A), those are 10s, 12s, 13s, and 14s, not separate 1 and 3 notes, and so
on (same with the Outro). Thanks and enjoy, shouldnt be too hard.
