   I heard a trance toon the other day, my son told me what it was cause I had   
   no idea.   
   It had this part in it, sort of like a bridge, where it started coming apart   
   or dissolving or something.   
   I gotta *see* it to make it work in my head so I started tracing it out on   
   the fretboard to see how it works.   
   Pretty simple 4 step pattern repeating over and over.   
   I put some power chords to it and some lead runs and had all kinds of room   
   to move around.   
   That electronic stuff is in its infancy if you ask me.
