The Audience is Listening intro - Guitar Lesson

Hey Folks, This intro has always fascinated me. I struggled a bit when learning it, so I thought I'd see if I can impart a bit of wisdom here and spare someone some aggravation. It's got a funky groove to it and I've seen a lot of people trying to play it but the rhythm always falls apart. I'm a huge Steve Vai fan. There may be more of his stuff to come. Play hard! Jeff
