x 8
On 8th repeat, hold the last note, then pulse it eight times
\ = slide down
All repeats refer to the sections above them.
For the chorus's, the notes a sixteenth before the downward slide are not heard so much
they are felt; they help with the timing/quickness of the slide.
As for the riff sections, the space in the second measure after the 3rd beat is
quiet, and though it does sound like there is something being played, it acts more like ghost
and a build up to the first beat of the next measure.
I saw that there were no tabs done for Cavalettas, so I did this because that is a travesty.
