This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Standard tuning

Comments: Not so busy or complicated as one expects from Muzz but

still a solid line. The only real interesting stuff appears towards

the end when he starts improvising walking lines around the

progression. Here I have listed two variations.

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

x = Dead notes (no pitch)

P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)

Tp = Tap w\plectrum
