Transcription Notes

Throughout this song there are multiple minor tempo changes/adjustments. Given their subtlety, I have chosen to not notate any of them other than the starting tempo. In general, the song stays in the realm of quarter note = 95 a.k.a. dotted quarter note = 66.

Also, given the difficulty of this song, this sheet music may be more useful as an analytical tool than as a play-along guide. Not that I'm stopping anyone... ;)
