pb = pre-bend (bend before striking)
= = hold bend or let note ring with substantial sustain
r = release bend (to indicated frett)
~ = vibrato (shallow, rapid bending)
/ = slide up (if not indicated where, then to and from anywhere)
\ = slide down (if not indicated where, then to and from anywhere)
s = legato slide (sound all notes in slide)
S = shift slide (sound only beginning and end notes by shifting quickly)
() = muted note (indicates notes muted after striking them)
