General Comments
Good lord this song was a pain to create. For a rock band, they keep a decent beat, but those little fluctuations made BPM calculations crazy...that's why it appears to be slightly off during the slow section. With it's extremely slow BPM, this might be considered the Orion.78 of my songs.
Basic/Light
There's a steady stream of downbeats, but the song is slow overall, so it shouldn't pose much of a problem. Novices may be tripped up by the layout of the jumps because the steps preceding the jumps don't flow in the same direction.
Trick/Standard
The huge eighth note run at the beginning of the song forces the player to twist a bit, but the slow tempo makes it much easier. There's a bit of twisting in some of the eighth note runs, but it's easy to shuffle and recover.
Maniac/Heavy
The steps begin by following the drum beat and then follow the guitars for most of the song. The hardest part of this song is that it's sightreading hell, otherwise there aren't any unusual rythyms nor is there an extreme amount of shuffling. If you want the full challenge of this song, don't use any speed modifiers.
