This is primarily for a rock cover I posted on SoundCloud a while back of 'I Am The
Doctor' that includes (almost) everything up until the flute solo in the second section of
the piece, though I guess that the riffs can be used to recreate Murray Gold's work in a
lighter manner.
Leave corrections and comments down below and I'll be sure to look at them when I get a
chance and change what needs to be changed.

-Strings shifted an octave higher.

An alternative to playing it this way would be to play the same notes on the high E
string, though I guess it's up to personal preference and what you think sounds better on
your guitar.

Brass solo (not sure if this is in the actual song, wrote it into my cover and it
sounded alright). Listen to the track for timing.
