Tab eplanation:

/,\ --> slide up, down

h --> hammer-on

p --> pull-off

R --> rest

Notes:

-The numbers above the tab represent the beats and half-beats. It's the best

way I found to express rhythm in tab.

-Each note is held until the next one, unless there in an R, which stands

for rest, and then there should be silence until the next note.

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
