This song is difficult . I make note of most of the little
inflictions that I play , like I use lots of slides
when I play this . Not neccesarily in the song (maybe ?) but It definetly
sounds good . If anyone has any corrections please
mail them to me ...
Key:
p=pull-off
h=hammer-on
/=slide
pm=palm mute
tr=trill
...=tremelo
vv=vibrato
