Text File
This was the european breakthrough hit for the German crossover band
H-Blockx, taken from their debut album. A great party tune.
Although the song is driven by a bass riff, the guitar plays essentially
the same. The timing you'll have to find out for yourself, just listen
to the song closely.

That's about it for this song. In reality, it's easy as hell, it's only
one single riff which is played slightly different in verse and chorus.
For guitar, i think you should use some Rage Against The Machine-Style
distortion. Enjoy this great song!
