~~Do a 1/4 bend each time the chord is hit. SLASH
is doing some other little runs within the pauses
but they're mostly add-here notes. So, just hit a
note in the area and if it sounds right, it's
most likely right!
Notation: the (7)(7) or (3)-(3) thing means its a
chord and both the notes are struck together!
The ~~~~ means to sustain the note!
