Tuned down 1/2-step
 
Comments: The x's in Rhy. Figs 2 and 3 are fingered at the third fret. Gene
plays these but screws them up here and there so I've chosen this way to
notate it. Previously tabbed by Luis Fernando. No part of his tab has been
used in this one.
 
 
Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t    = tap with righthand finger
h    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum
