Nothing to it. There are a few little variants on Rhy. Fig 2 that I haven't bothered with. Basically it's all about moving the E at the 7th fret to other rhythmic positions. (Thanks to kirk590722@aol.com for help with desiphering the gospel-like background vocals.) 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 Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3-----3--5--------------------3-----3--5--------| Eb|-----3-----------------------------3--------------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|----5--5--5--5--5--5--5/--------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2a Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--5--3--0--5----0--3--0---| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------3-----3/-5-------5------| Eb|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-----3----------5-----0---| Rhythm Fig. 2b Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--5--3--0--5----0--3--0---| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------------/7-----------3-----3/-5----------0---| Eb|--0--0--0--0-----0--0--0------3---------0--3------| Rhythm Fig. 2c Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------------------/7-----------------------------| Eb|--0--0--0--0--0--0-----0--5--3--0--5----0--3--0---| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------------------/7-----3-----3/-5-------5------| Eb|--0--0--0--0--0--0-----0-----3----------5-----0---| Rhythm Fig. 3a Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-----------------------5-----| Eb|-----------------------3--5--5--5--5--5--5-----5--| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-----5--5--5--5--5-----------| Eb|-----------------------3-------------------15\----| Rhythm Fig. 3b Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-----------------------5-----| Eb|-----------------------3--5--5--5--5--5--5-----5--| < -
