This arrangement for string quartet is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonality as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun.
N.B.: There could have been more markings, such as accents, in the 'cello part. Driving your quartet's rock-groove is at the cellist's discretion.
The level is on the easier side of "advanced"; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students.
Enjoy!
