  Here's the chromatic interlude part (played mostly unisono by bass,
guitar and keyboard). Petrucci plays this on a 7-string, the tab here is
for a 6-string guitar - it's transposed up an octave ( except bars 2,4 and
15 to end ).
  This whole part makes a great warm-up excersise ( when you play it
slower ). It's also perfect for practicing cross-picking and
string-skipping - check out the sextuplets at the end...
