W/Slappin on the D note

Do that about eight times and at the fouth enter the high hats closed of course
and have one guitar slam a D chord with his hands once and let the feed back do
the rest, while another is still doing it four more times, at the seventh time the
bass is doing the riff A enter the cow bell.

then D chord strumming at a tempo of 160 and hard rock and also maybe some Bminor,
the solo is a different story, I'll attack it next time! Till then keep rockin'!!!!
