Figs is the main Guitar (on the right side if you¥re facing the speakers) and "b" is the 12-string on the left. Let ring throughout the piece and accent the first note in each three-note grouping. 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 w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1a Eb|--5--------7--------8--------7---------------------| Bb|-----6--------6--------6--------6------------------| Gb|--------7--------7--------7--------7---------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| < -
