===================================================================
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!
