I suggest tuning to the song. This is based mostly on swing eights so all you have to do is lock into the groove and swing away. Gene does have a few variations here and there. For the life of me I can't understand where Rhy. Fig 7 comes from, it seems totally out of place in this tune (hell, on this album). 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
