From the 6, snap quickly to the 5 on the B string,

then lull briefly before you drop to the 4.

I've been listening to the song and keep hearing

this strange slide thing going, which sounds kind

of like this:

B--5s4s5-------------------

If you hit the 5 a little hard, then drag your finger

to the four and back to the five without striking the

string again with your strumming hand, it should produce

that sound.

p == pull

s == slide

h == hammer-on

v == vibrato
