This strumming (riff 1, guitar 1) goes on in the background pretty much

for the whole song (except the Eb D G 'chorus' bit). Over the top of it

alternates between guitar 2 playing riff 2 and guitar 3 playing riff 1

over again.

/ is slide up

\ is slide down

h is hammer-on

p is pull-off

7pb(8)r7 is fret at 7, pre-bend to 8 then pick and release bend

--/--- is a strum

--x---- is strum but mute the strings at the neck

there's still something not quite right with this, any improvements

welcome.....
