The first is relatively easy even if you¥re a beginner on slide. The second starts out really revved up, sixteenth-note triplets flying all over the place. Towards the end it settles into a more melodic thing again which follows the chords nicely. At the end I have just listed the Outro fills without specifying exactly where they occur. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t^ = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap

last bar] Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again Would you know the trickery that he's prayin?
