                                        REPEAT 2x Prechorus (repeats twice, only changes are some accents and the second time at the end, just play through instead of triplets)

                    Chorus Guitar 2 (octaves follow guitar 1 pattern)
                    Interlude before breakdown, verse repeats but first half of riff is repeated instead of going down.
                    Breakdown (both guitars, unless you hear something cool in your head to add)

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
