I also like the 7th-chord in Rhy. Fig 4. The bend in Rhy. Fig 3 is doubled which makes for that big sound. Play the ringing parts semi-clean. 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 (let ring) E|--0------------------------0---0-------------------------| B|--0----------------------------9--10---------------------| G|----------/9---------6/7-7-------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| E|--0------------------------------------------------------| E|--------0---0------------------0-----------0-------------| B|------------3/-5-------------0-----0---------------------| G|--1/2-2------------------2/4----------4------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2 E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|-----7--5--4--5/7-7-7-----------7--5--4--5/7-7-7---------| E|--0--------------------0-5p0-0--------------------0-3p0--| E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------7-------------| D|-----------------------------------------x-7---x-7-------| A|-----7--5--4--5/7-7-7-----------7--5--4--x-5---x-7-------| E|--0--------------------0-5p0-0-------------------5-------| Rhythm Fig. 3 E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|-----7--5--4--5/7-7-7-----------7--5--4--5/7-7-7---------| E|--0--------------------0-5p0-0--------------------0-3p0--| E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|-----7--5--4--5/7-7-7-----------7--5--4--5/7-7-7~--------| E|--0--------------------0-5p0-0------------------------0--| E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|--2----5--4--2-2-0-2--x-2-------5--4--2-2-0-2------------| D|--2----5--4--2-2-0-2--x-2-------5--4--2-2-0-2------------| A|--0---------------------0--------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|-------5--4--5/7-7-7-----------7--5--4--5/7-7-7~---------| E|--3b------------------0-3p0-0----------------------------| 1/4-step Rhythm Fig. 4 E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------x-x------------------------2------------------| G|--2h4--4---x-x-2h4--4------2-------2---------------------| D|--2h4--4---x-x-2h4--4------2----2------------------------| A|--2-2--2-------2-2--2------0-----------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------| Let ring -
