Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Gene varies himself a lot on this track and as a result, it's
pretty much a full tab. I've chosen to divide it into the different sections
though to make it easier to piece together. John Claude's tab of this song
unfortunately only listed the root notes for each chord thereby missing the
wealth of variation that the song contains. No part of his original tab has
been used in this one.
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
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\) = Dive w\bar
(/) = Release w\bar
Tp = Tap w\plectrum
