===================================================================

November 2001: I recently went through this file and made a few

corrections. Some details of slides and bends were changed, and a

couple of typos (where the notes had been written on the wrong

string!) were fixed.

===================================================================

b = bend up

r = release bend

so 7b9 means play note fretted at 7th, bend up two semitones

7b9r7 means play note at 7th fret, bend up 2 semitones, then

release the bend. Only strike the string once with the

right hand

9r7 means bend 7th fret note up two semitones (without playing

it first), strike the bent note and release it

h = hammer on

p = pull off

/ = slide

Use moderate vibrato throughout on all sustained notes.

^^^^^^^^^^^

In case your worried about this last bit, after bending the note you

hammer on the 14th fret with your *right* hand, then pull off and

release the bend.

A bit tricky otherwise...

Enjoy!
