OK, well I missed a part, but I couldn’t hear that part enough to distinguish what it was,
and being an ethical and responsible person, I can’t just jot something down and have people
go around playing it wrong (or not on purpose anyway), so I left it out.
Hopefully it’s enough to get you guys started.
