"Cool Down" by Slightly Stoopid

Riff Rundown

Difficulty: Intermediate

I am going to set this song up according to theme, just to make sure everything is covered. There are quite a few recurring parts in this song, but it's easy to get lost. This is the epitomy of "dueling" guitars. You should have quite a bit of fun playing along with someone in this song. It's got a nice gallop to it. Overall, the song isn't that hard, but there are quite a few tricky spots in there, though the theme stays rather constant.

Intro 1:

The entire intro can be played very easily. Begin with your fingers in the open D position to play the first measure. From there on out, the intro is just moving up and down the neck in power chord format.
