After the last bar, improvise, just strike a few notes or something for a few seconds,
Or make your own solo. And thats it, I'm confident that this is almost completely
accurate, but we'd need Lyle Preslar to confirm that. Its a fairly slow tempo (especially
for Minor Threat), i guess everyone interprets strumming patterns of a song differently,
but this is how i play it, and its near as dammit perfect.
