"Lorelei" by Passafire
From the album "Start From Scratch"
2011
Please Note: In the intro, the "/" are not slides. I just used it to show it's
important to pick the next note fast, almost like a hammer on, but it's not.
For the Intro, a Wah Pedal with Distortion makes it fit in with the sound well, just saying.

Distortion with Wha is highly recommended for the Bridge. Especially if you decided to Solo.

There's sort of a Solo on the rest of the Bridge, but the Rhythm parts are just
the verse and Chorus.
