This time he plays his usual staccato lines with the occasional slap and pop which, towards the end, turns into a slap-fest. He uses a sound that's better for finger-style playing than for slapping which gives the slapping (and popping) a slightly muffled feeling. It's not like anything the demon himself would ever play but it is cool. Adds a fresh thing for the last choruses. T stands for thumb slap and P for finger pop. Some of the moves here, like the quick change from fingerstyle to pop in the chorus (Rhy. Figs 5), are difficult but can be accomplished by not fully changing the hand position to slap-style but rather just popping the D-string quickly with the middle finger. 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. 1 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--5----5--3--5---------5------3---------------------| < -
