Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments:  Standard Gene playing from the past few years really. From
what I can tell, this performance is fairly close to the original demo
(although the sound quality I have of that leaves a lot to be desired).
There are a number of variations on the chorus riff but I've tried to
make the number of Rhy. Figs somewhat limited.


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
