Weird story-tellin interlude hehe:
The first half of this interlude is the same riff as the riff used on verse 1
but only playing some notes. Listen to the song to see what I'm talking about...
Here is the tab of this part from that part on:

Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces and they formed a band the likes of
which have never been seen. And they called themselves Tenacious D..... That's right!

Tenacious D kicks ass! They are the best band in the world! Thanks for the tab!
You did a good job, but the intro is a little messed up. U are missing one note and the 2/3/2 hammeron/pulloff is only a pulloff, and im positive that it is played by Tenacious D. This is the how the intro should be played. If you don't agree with me, listen really closely to the song. --2----3p2------1p0---1p0--- ---3-------3-------3-----3-3 ----2-----2-2-3-----3-----3- 0--------------------------- ---------------------------- ----------------------------
