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

* Go back to rhythm figure 1 and play to fadeout

Note: I don't know how it was done, but it almost sounds like there

is a second guitar playing a percussive part under the main

guitar part. I tried to emulate it the best I could with the

picking pattern.

*******************************************************

h hammer on

p pull off

(n) ghost note (sometimes barely audible notes, optional)

b bend

r bend release

/ slide up to note

\ slide down to note

~ vibrato

t tap note with picking hand

<> harmonics

*= repeat from beginning
