Legend:

w,h,q,e,s = whole,half,quarter,eighth,sixteenth

H,Q,E = dotted half, quarter, eighth

+ = tie

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

r = rest

^ = strum

h = hammer

p = pulloff

. = staccato

x = mute or percussive

() = optional note

Performance notes: I found the G#7 in the bridge pretty rough

initially; slide the C#min7 up to the 8th fret, add the pinky at

the 11th on the 3rd, then oblique the index finger to the 9th on

the 5th. Cleans up fairly quickly.
