Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's
definitely up for peer review.
The picking pattern is difficult. If you're having trouble seeing the chronological
order, try first playing a steady bass-line on the heavy D string and fitting the other
notes in to that bass-line. Then move on from there. If you're having trouble, look
for a tutorial on youtube. I'm sure there are plenty. Just keep at it. Don't quit.
Key:
where # represents a fret number
#h# - hammer
#p# - pull
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.
* - time keeper. if you played a steady
baseline, you'd see the notes are
displayed in the tab in the correct
chronological order.
