// 100 bpm, 4/4, key G major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: sustain pedal (CC 64) lengthens the held notes
// note: Full arrangement: all 87 bars on a 32-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.
// note: Guitar parts that double another keep only their own notes (fills, solos): guitar program 30.
