But in the end, its a very very old song like over 1000s years old or some says 2-3000 years , so we don&#8217;t know where it came from.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, it&#8217;s a cool song\u00a0 so never mind where it comes from.<\/p>\n<p>Lets play!!<\/p>\n<h2>solo<\/h2>\n<p>There are slow version and fast one.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not familier with speed picking, practice slow tempo with a metronome.<\/p>\n<p>If you can do speed picking then try to reach 200-220BPM.
