Intro From Saturday Night Tabs

(ver. 1)
Tenacious D
(Live)
Tenacious D off Saturday Night Live.

Jack Black plays this too start off the show.
I got the video off Kazaa (Tenacious_D_on_SNL_01192002_vcd.mpg)


The intro riff is played throughout the song
(often in the background when he's not even playing guitar).
