-- author's note --
Now this one's really tricky. Not sure if it's slightly out of tune, which makes it
harder to tell some notes, along with the
fact there's lots of distortion and wah. So it's likely that some parts are wrong, main
intro riff included.
On the other hand, there's considerable confidence about the "personality" / "no
morality" patterns, which are really cool.
Solo's not note by note, and the chromatic passages got me somewhat puzzled too. I
believe both are the same really, not so
sure about those notes though, even if they sound ok when I play.
Please let me know if there's any fixes I should know!

"without morality, no morality" = "personality"

personality part but they go:
